The EPA has posted a new template for construction operators to use in developing stormwater pollution prevention plans, which are site-specific documents required as part of EPA’s new 2012 Construction General Permit. The template is designed to help construction operators develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan that is compliant with the minimum requirements of the new permit. The template allows operators to customize the document to the needs of the site, and includes tables and other fields that are easy to fill out.
For questions about the template, or the permit in general, please send inquiries to CGP@epa.gov. For additional information on stormwater pollution prevention plans for construction activities and to view a copy of the template visit:
