SAN ANTONIO SWPPP SERVICES

Our SWPPP services are designed to ensure compliance with the City of San Antonio ordinance regarding stormwater compliance for construction activities. Enforcement of the City’s ordinance is delegated to the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) who operates the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) program with the City. A copy of the City’s ordinance can be found at SAWS.org or municode.com.

Key Requirements

Plans

The City of San Antonio requires that all Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) be prepared by a Professional Engineer or a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC). All of our plans are prepared by experienced CPESC professionals. For more information about our plans, please see our SWPPP development section.

SWPPP Inspections

The City of San Antonio defines a Qualified Inspector as those who have obtained one of four certifications:

  • Professional Engineer
  • Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC)
  • Certified Erosion, Sediment, & Stormwater Inspector (CESSWI)
  • Certified inspector of sediment and erosion control (CISEC

Currently, our staff includes inspection professionals with either CESSWI or CPESC certifications. These professionals have years of experience in the construction industry and will work with your team to plan out a smart, cost-effective path to compliance. For more information about our inspection services, please see our inspections section.

Permit Termination

Prior to filing your Notice of Termination (NOT) or notice of CSN removal, a final inspection is required with San Antonio Water System (SAWS) to determine if the site meets the termination requirements. After consulting you, we’ll prepare to submit your permit termination to TCEQ and SAWS, and schedule the required final inspection with SAWS staff to close the project out. Permit termination processing is included with our plans and inspection services.
