Environmental Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP)

We talk about industrial waste, environmental air pollutants, hazardous or solid wastes, process waste water, and on and on…But, what about the one topic most people just simply miss. This is the one that goes directly into the streams, ponds, lakes, rivers, ditches, and all surface bodies of water. The one that while it is happening, everyone is usually inside and not aware it’s a problem. That’s right... STORM WATER or another way of saying it - “Rain”. Well you ask yourself, how can rain be an environmental issue. Actually, it is not the rain itself, but rather the potential pollutants being washing off of the streets, parking lots, cars, equipment, lawns, or anything being stored or spilled outside.

Federal standards require the issuing of a permit if there is the potential for pollutants to enter the water ways or bodies of water of the nation. The permit identified actions and requirements to be taken to prevent such pollutants from entering the water systems. Therefore, if it rains and pollutants enter the water system, the company is held accountable for it. This webinar will cover the basics of what is required in a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and address site-specific questions and scenarios.
