Evoco Workspace for SWPPP
Reading this won’t cost you a thing. Ignoring it could cost you millions.
If your company disturbs more than one acre of land during construction, the EPA requires you to have appropriate stormwater permits and to implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Most retailers, developers and large construction companies understand that protecting our waterways is the right thing to do. But many are struggling to comply with the complex regulations using paper-based or manual processes.
Yesterday’s approaches to stormwater management are cumbersome, error-prone and costly. It is difficult to consistently and effectively track compliance in the field, and the cost of noncompliance can be high – your company may be fined or be at risk of consent decrees, punitive damages or even jail time for company executives.
But there is another way.
