Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) consists of a set of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that address activities that the City will undertake to control and help reduce stormwater pollution. These BMPs must address the six following Minimum Control Measures 1 . Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement and Participation 3. Illicit Discharge and Detection 4. Construction Site Runoff Control 5. Post Construction Runoff Control 6. Pollution Prevention and Housekeeping The permit requirements purposely were not designed to be highly prescriptive in nature in recognition of the fact that every community is unique with differing storm water issues and available resources. The intent of the permit requirements is that each community develops its own unique SWPPP based on a self assessment process and the development of BMPs that address storm water pollution control to the Maximum Extent Practical. The City developed a SWPPP with 43 BMPs to address the required six minimum control measures.
