A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a document required by SCDHEC for construction sites that disturb one or more acres of land. It outlines erosion and sediment control measures.

How often are SWPPP inspections required?

SCDHEC requires SWPPP inspections at least every 7 calendar days and within 24 hours of a qualifying rain event of 0.5 inches or more.

What happens if I fail a SWPPP inspection?

Violations can result in a Notice of Violation (NOV) from SCDHEC and fines up to $10,000 per day per violation. We help you avoid these through proactive compliance.
