Operators are responsible for implementing and maintaining best management practices (BMPs) to control stormwater runoff and prevent pollution during construction activities. They must ensure compliance with the stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP). Typically, this would be the project owner, developer, or general contractor.
The project manager is responsible for Construction, BMP installation and Maintenance, Training of onsite personnel, SWPPP preparation and approval of amendments, and inspections. The project manager will be listed as the emergency contact for the site.
Permanent Stabilization includes things like Landscaping and/or Paving the site so that soil is no longer disturbed.
Projects disturbing over one (1) acre or that are part of a "Common Planned Development" (subdivision) require inspections by an inspector certified by the State or EPA. NOTE: The City/County/State official inspections are different than the inspections required by the Stormwater Permit and do not meet this requirement.
The operator signatory requirements need to be added as well, correct?
