Contractor SWPPP Case Study

We received a call from a general contractor that was building on a site that was over 5 acres, and they were a few months into the project. The contractor was maintaining silt fence, sweeping streets, and protecting the inlets. The contractor received a visit from the local municipality, and they were asked to provide a copy of their NOI, SWPPP, and recent NPDES Inspections.
It is not uncommon for the NOI and SWPPP to be overlooked. In this case, the general contractor at the time thought the engineer prepared the NOI and SWPPP, and the site contractor was handling the NPDES Inspections. It turned out the contractor did not have an active NOI or SWPPP for the project, and there was no one doing the inspections.
The local municipality told the contractor they needed to stop all work until they were in compliance. KCI was able to assist with NOI and SWPPP book within 48 hours, and to start the weekly and rain inspections right away to get the contractor in compliance.
Working diligently with the contractor and all the parties KCI was able to help this contractor avoid daily fines from EPA, DEP, and local municipalities. The project was able to stay on schedule and the contractor gained assurance that all to the NPDES requirements were being managed properly.

Helping Municipalities Maintain the Integrity of Local Waterbodies

A local Florida municipality faced increasing challenges in managing its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program.
Multiple departments were involved, making it difficult to gather compliance data, track inspections, and prepare various regulatory reports.
The municipality needed a trusted environmental partner to streamline operations, ensure NPDES compliance, and enhance the protection of local waterways.
KCI partnered with the municipality to deliver a comprehensive MS4 support program designed to strengthen compliance and improve efficiency.
- Leveraging our expertise in stormwater management, KCI collaborated with municipal staff to:
- Compile and organize compliance data from multiple departments.
- Conduct internal audits and system evaluations to identify areas for improvement.
- Assist with the preparation and submittal of detailed compliance reports.
- Support staff education and outreach initiatives on stormwater pollution prevention.
- Perform stormwater infrastructure maintenance and area inspections to verify permit compliance.

Industrial Case Study

An industrial facility was operating with an applicable Multi-Sector Generic Permit and was visited by FDEP. During the inspection, it was found that the facility was not fully educated on all of the requirements and were found to be out of compliance. The facility was confused since they have been operating for over 10 years and had never had an issue before.
Under the Florida Multi-Sector Generic Permit, it is a requirement to have a facility specific stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), complete quarterly facility inspections, quarterly visual monitoring reports of stormwater discharge, annual facility inspections that review your SWPPP and employee training, and submit applicable Discharge Monitoring Reports.
The facility did not have a SWPPP, were not implementing effective BMPs, completing quarterly visual monitoring inspections, and submitting the required analytical monitoring results for their sector.
KCI was able to respond quickly to create a SWPPP and complete their Annual Comprehensive Site Compliance Evaluation. We responded to FDEP on the client’s behalf and worked together to get the facility in compliance.
