Construction Site Runoff
The PBC MS4 NPDES permit includes requirements related to preventing and/or reducing pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction sites.Please note that the MS4 permit is not the same as the FDEP Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Sites(GCP).
The PBC MS4 NPDES permit requirements related to construction site runoff include:
- ordinances/codes requiring construction site planning approval and the use of structural and non-structural controls to prevent pollutants in construction site runoff
- a SFWMD or FDEP permit before land clearing, if one is required
- site inspections of construction sites for proper stormwater, erosion and sedimentation BMPs
- an inspection log of all inspections conducted
- use of a formalized inspection checklist for construction site inspections
- enforcement using notices of violation and/or stop work orders for those construction site operators which repeatedly fail to comply with approved erosion and sediment control BMPs
- annual stormwater erosion and sediment control training program for construction site plan reviews, site inspectors, site operators, and private persons.
The annual stormwater erosion and sediment control training program for construction plan reviewers, site inspectors, site operators and private persons is completed as a joint activity by the permittees. Information on the Florida Stormwater, Erosion, and Sedimentation Control Inspector training for annual reporting purposes will be made available at the end of each reporting year.
FDEP Generic Construction Permit
Construction sites that disturb one acre or more of land, are required to seek coverage under the FDEP Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Activities (CGP).
It is the CGP that includes the requirement that a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Notice of Termination (NOT) be submitted to FDEP. It is also the CGP that requires completion of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP).
