SafetyQuestion 700 of 700
For a construction stormwater permit (SWPPP), who is generally responsible for ensuring the plan is implemented and its control measures are inspected and maintained on the site?
a.Only the state agency that issued the permit
b.The permit holder/legally responsible person (such as the owner or their contractor), who must implement, inspect, and maintain the BMPs
c.Only the concrete supplier delivering to the site
d.No one until a violation notice is received
Explanation
Correct: the discharger who holds the permit, the legally responsible party such as the owner or their designated contractor, is responsible for implementing the SWPPP and for inspecting and maintaining the control measures (BMPs) throughout construction. The issuing agency oversees but does not run daily site controls. A material supplier is not responsible for site-wide stormwater compliance. Waiting for a violation notice is noncompliant; the duty is ongoing.
