SWPPP

There are two parts, a SWPPP and a State General Construction Stormwater Permit Coverage (State Permit).

• A State permit (also known as an NOI or Notice of Intent) requires you to control and eliminate stormwater pollution sources through the development and implementation of a SWPPP.
• A SWPPP is a plan required by the State permit.  It generally shows possible sources of stormwater pollutants identified and the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are selected to reduce or eliminate their impacts. BMP's are the most important element of this plan.  The aim is to control stormwater sediment and erosion to the maximum extent practicable.
  • List of preferred BMPs

When the proposed land disturbance falls under one of the following permit type descriptions:

• Common Plan Permit (CPP)- applies to single residential lots disturbing less than an acre and located in subdivisions that are an acre or greater that were subdivided post October 1992.
• Construction General Permit (CGP)- applies to all other lots disturbing an acre or more (or lots that are part of a common plan of development, subdivision, or phased project that disturb an acre or more).
• For more information, see the SWPPP compliance process below.

Where do I get a State permit? Also known as filing a Notice of Intent (NOI)

• State permits are filed through the State of Utah.
• If you have not applied for a State permit before, create an account with the State of Utah.  Create an account early because it can take a while to receive login credentials.  
• Part of the SWPPP requirement is an active State permit, be sure to file an NOI with the State of Utah and submit with your SWPPP for review.
• See the SWPPP compliance process below.

SWPPP Compliance Process

1. SWPPP determination and plan review: Under building permit applications that include land disturbance, the Engineering Department will determine if your project requires a State General Construction Stormwater permit coverage (State permit) and which type. You will be notified if your project requires a State permit or not.

• If a State permit is required- the Stormwater Coordinator will review the SWPPP plan for SWPPP requirements, and the SWPPP compliance process will begin as described below.
• If a State permit is not required- no further SWPPP action is needed. NOTE: Stormwater BMP's may still be required by Park City.

2. Apply for a State permit: Also known as filing a Notice of Intent (NOI). State permits are filed through the State of Utah.

• If you have not applied for a State permit before, create an account with the State of Utah.  Create an account early because it can take a while to receive login credentials.  
• Part of the SWPPP requirement is an active State permit, be sure to file an NOI with the State of Utah and submit with your SWPPP for review.

To avoid delays, note the following:

• Choose the NOI for the type of State permit that applies to your project.
• Ensure the person who will be signing and submitting forms applies as a Signatory (not Preparer).
• Use full legal names and home addresses.
• Read and understand all requirements of the State permit that covers your project.  The State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or EPA may inspect your project at any time without notice.
• REMINDER: State permits are active for one year from the date you apply.  Renew as needed, until Notice of Termination (NOT) is requested.

3. Pre-Construction Meeting: If construction activity is required to obtain an UPDES Construction Storm Water Permit, a pre-construction meeting and SWPPP review is required.

• Pre-Construction Meeting Checklist

4. SWPPP Inspections: MS4 SWPPP oversight inspections are documented through ComplianceGo. You are welcome to use ComplianceGo to document your own SWPPP inspections as well; however, this is not required. During the pre-construction meeting, please confirm where your SWPPP inspection records will be hosted and maintained.

5. Request termination of the State permit. Also known as filing a Notice of Termination (NOT): Once all work is complete and vegetation is stabilized, contact SWPPP Coordinator, Christine Williams at 435-615-5364 or christine.williams@parkcity.gov for the following:

• Verify the State permit termination process can begin.
• Determine when to request an NOT with the State of Utah.
• Schedule the SWPPP Final Inspection. NOTE: SWPPP Final inspection requirements are provided with the State permit that covers your project. Read and understand all requirements.
• Receive long term inspection requirement instructions, if applicable.
• REMINDER: State permits are active for one year from the date you applied. Renew as needed, until NOT is requested. 

6. Long Term Stormwater Management Process: Park City's MS4 Permit requires the City to implement regulatory mechanisms that manage runoff from development. Municipal Code 13-5 was adopted to achieve compliance with Long Term Stormwater Management with the State MS4 Permit. This requires all new developments and redevelopments to create a Long Term Stormwater Management Plan (LTSWMP) and sign a Maintenance Agreement that is recorded with the County.

• Long Term Stormwater Management Plan and Agreement Template 
• Print all pages of the plan and agreement single sided
• The document cannot be stapled
• The owner of the property must sign the agreement and have their signature notarized. The signature must match the owner listed on the title report
• The original signed agreement must be submitted to the Stormwater Coordinator for recording with Summit County
