Polluted storm water runoff is a leading cause of impairment to the nearly
40% of surveyed U.S. water bodies which do not meet water quality standards.
Over land or via storm sewer systems, polluted runoff is discharged, often
untreated, directly into local water bodies. When left uncontrolled, this
water pollution can result in the destruction of fish, wildlife, and aquatic
life habitats; a loss in aesthetic value; and threats to public health due
to contaminated food, drinking water supplies, and recreational waterways. |

This site is a resource to
help educate industry on the federal and state requirements and restrictions
on storm water pollution. Additionally, this site will help guide you
through the process of producing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
for your facility. In order to understand the various government
requirements, please follow each of the links below. If after reading
this information your facility requires a plan, follow the Setup a New
Plan Link below. If you are returning to revise or review your
plan, follow the Return to My Plan link below. |
