Construction activities that disturb one or more acres of land must be authorized under the UPDES General Permit for Construction Activities. This page contains the forms and information necessary to obtain coverage under that permit.
A national model has been prepared for use by those preparing a storm water pollution prevention plan. It is recommended that those preparing SWPPP's use the model template or review the elements of the template to ensure that a plan has been prepared in compliance with the State permit. Links to the SWPPP template and the template guidelines are below:
The following link will redirect you to the EPA Phase II Best Management Practices Specifications for Construction Sites. This resource will give you standard installation instructions and appropriate applications for several erosion and sediment control practices.
Sites with coverage prior to July 1, 2008.
The UPDES Storm Water General Permit for Construction Activities issued in 2002 (UTR100000) was renewed effective July 1, 2008. Two permits were developed for this renewal; one, called a bridge permit (UTR200000), which essentially continues coverage under the old 2002 permit for existing permit holders only, and one which is the renewal permit (UTR300000) for anyone seeking coverage after June 30, 2008.
