Identification of Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Points

Kevin Hood

The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) administers Federal and state regulations requiring construction site operators to manage their stormwater and to obtain a Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSWGP) on sites one acre and larger. The permit requires the construction site operator, to develop, use, and amend a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and designate a CESCL certified individual to conduct stormwater discharge monitoring and reporting. The purpose of these requirements is to reduce and prevent soil, dirt, and other common construction pollutants from washing off the site and reaching streams, rivers, and other local water bodies. In this case study we will discuss identification of appropriate construction site stormwater discharge monitoring locations necessary to maintain compliance with requirements set forth in the SWPPP and CSWGP.
