What is a SWPPP?
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, also known as a SWPPP, SWP3, or SW3P, is a site-specific document that details the characteristics of a site, the scope of the project, and the measures that will be implemented to contain on-site pollutants and prevent them from being carried off-site in the form of runoff during storms.
