municipality The purpose of construction site runoff control is
to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from construction
activities. The Phase II Final Rule requires the operator of a
regulated municipality to "have procedures for site plan review
of construction plans that consider potential water quality
impacts." The procedures for site plan review generally include
identifying key staff to conduct the reviews, developing a
system to track plans, developing procedures for consistent plan
review, and training staff. The site plan required by Phase II
must address erosion and sediment controls as well as controls
for "other waste" at the site. EPA and States generally require
construction site operators to develop a stormwater pollution
prevention plan, or SWPPP, for their stormwater discharges. A
SWPPP is broader in scope than an erosion and sediment control
plan or site Phase II municipalities must develop and implement
