“Always use a Certified Professional to prepare your SWPPPs.”
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is your “Contract” with the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP). The SWPPP specifically outlines what you will be doing on your project, how this could affect stormwater runoff, and what you will be doing to prevent pollution.
Like a contract, the SWPPP is a binding agreement. The SWPPP is used by the EPA as evidence, more than any other item. The on-site conditions of a project change every minute, so it is harder for the regulators to fine you for a messy site. However, the SWPPP is spelled out in black and white, what you are agreeing to do. If you do not do what you said you would do, then the regulators have rock-solid evidence against you that can be very costly.
A few years ago, it was sufficient to just use a basic template to prepare a SWPPP. Today, the SWPPP is the most scrutinized component of a stormwater compliance program. The EPA can assess you fines for your project, just by visiting your trailer and going thru the SWPPP.

Like a contract, the SWPPP should be prepared by someone that is knowledgeable with the requirements of the SWPPP. A SWPPP is complex and must be prepared without mistakes. Mistakes can be costly and increase your liability. In addition, a SWPPP is a living document that must be updated and changed regularly depending on changing site conditions.
