What is a SWPPP inspection and why is it important?

A SWPPP inspection is an evaluation of the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) implemented on construction sites to minimize the impact of stormwater runoff on nearby streams, rivers, and lakes. The inspection is conducted by a qualified professional to ensure that the SWPPP measures are successfully controlling the pollutants and erosion from the construction site. The inspector will assess the proper implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and other measures detailed in the SWPPP to identify any deficiencies that require corrective action. SWPPP inspections are crucial to maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, minimizing environmental impact, and avoiding potential penalties.
