How Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Helps Industries and Construction Sites According to the state and federal regulations each state has a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan or SWPPP that may differ slightly in each state, but is based on the same principles and guidelines. Stormwater is derived from rain or snow which flows through natural or constructed drainage or storage systems without soaking into the ground. In construction or industrial sites stormwater can gather pollutants such as pesticides, grease, trash, debris and other harmful substances that can pollute waterways such as lakes or rivers. There are companies that especially deal with stormwater management for construction sites and industries following state regulations and guidelines. Harmful Effects of Stormwater The goal of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is to prevent damage and pollution to water in lakes, bays, creeks, and rivers so that the contaminants do not harm potable and natural water bodies and wildlife or fish, homes or fields in rural areas. Stormwater cannot soak in on impervious ground such as in hard surface areas like roads, industrial areas, roofs, parking lots, driveways, and picks up pollutants that runoff into water bodies and cause ecological harm.
