Our project`s Compliance Plan covers all aspects of compliance from start of construction through closeout, and consists of the following components: Weekly SWPPP compliance inspections (by qualified, certified, third-party inspectors) on the 7-day cycle offered under TPDES regulations. Insure that the findings of compliance inspections are filed in the jobsite SWPPP record keeping system and issue resolution discussed with the Project Superintendent.

Many, if not the majority of SWPPP implementations are ineffective at protecting the environment and represent a significant waste of money. Poorly conceived Best Management Practices (BMPs), even poorer installation techniques and untrained labor combine to create only the illusion of compliance—an illusion that can be quickly shattered by a regulatory compliance officer. We’ve found that BMPs requiring lots of maintenance are responsible for the lackluster compliance that results from annoyance and frustration over ineffective and inefficient methods. When maintenance costs are tallied (and they’re usually not) such BMPs typically cost more over the length of the project than good ones would have---and because they’re most often in need of maintenance, they’re often the source of violations. Good SWPPP implementations start with good BMPs and a commitment to innovation, as well as to compliance.
