The SWPPP shall be available?

The SWPPP shall be available?

• A. At the project site
• B. In the main office of the contractor
• C. On the project website
• D. At the local library

Answer: (A)

The plan for controlling stormwater must be accessible right where work happens—the project site. Having the SWPPP on-site ensures that the crew and supervisors can readily reference the specific erosion and sediment controls, stabilization procedures, and inspection requirements as work is being conducted. It also makes it easy for inspectors to review the plan during site visits and for updates to be communicated promptly to those implementing the measures. While copies can exist at the main office, online, or elsewhere, those locations do not fulfill the requirement as the primary access point during construction.
