Webinar: Stormwater Compliance Documentation

If your company wants to stay in compliance with the myriad of new and forthcoming stormwater runoff requirements, you need an effective document management system.   All stormwater permitting authorities require a site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) as well documentation of inspections, findings, and maintenance and repair of all BMPs.  In the case of an audit or incident, government enforcers will want to see written proof of your compliance. This webinar will be held Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012, from 2:00  - 3:30 p.m. ET. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER AGC’s Environmental Forum Steering Committee members have worked with U.S. EPA staff to publish customizable “templates” to help contractors produce site-specific SWPPPs and document the site inspections and corrective actions required by EPA’s new 2012 Construction General Permit (CGP).  (EPA’s federal stormwater permit serves as a model for permits issued in states authorized to implement the federal stormwater program.)  Participate in AGC’s Dec. 18 webinar to learn how to use these documents to keep your projects in compliance! The most common stormwater permit violations include lack of – or improper – documentation related to the site’s SWPPP, inspections, and corrective-action measures!  NO RECORD = IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!  Noncompliance can cost you $37,500 per day per violation!
Stormwater Compliance Documentation Webinar It is a legal REQUIREMENT to have a SWPPP on every single project!  It should include written records of your site inspections and the follow-up “BMP” maintenance and corrective actions taken at the jobsite.  AGC and EPA have teamed up to present a webinar Dec. 18 to show AGC contractors how to use the Agency’s NEW “template” documents to keep their projects in compliance.
