LES riprap and erosion-control BMP field work at a Central Florida site

Who Needs Construction Stormwater Coverage

If You're Disturbing an Acre or More

Construction activity disturbing one or more acres in Florida is generally subject to the FDEP NPDES Construction Generic Permit, which requires site-specific SWPPP documentation. LES prepares and organizes that documentation so coverage is in place before ground is broken.

General & site contractors

Projects disturbing one or more acres generally need construction stormwater coverage before ground is broken.

Developers & land planners

Documentation aligned to the approved civil plans and the anticipated construction sequence.

Production & custom builders

Repeatable SWPPP packages across phased subdivisions and multiple active lots.

Commercial & industrial owners

Site-specific documentation for pads, parking, and larger disturbed footprints.

Municipal & institutional projects

Organized compliance records that hold up to agency review and audit.

What the SWPPP Package Includes

A Complete, Organized Compliance Package

  • Project and operator information

  • NOI preparation assistance
  • Optional NOT closeout assistance
  • Optional initial field BMP review

NOI & CGP Support

Coverage Initiated Correctly

LES assists with Notice of Intent (NOI) preparation and aligns the SWPPP to the FDEP NPDES Construction Generic Permit framework, so coverage is initiated against the right requirements for the project's disturbed area and location.

Compliance Binder Organization

Audit-Ready From Day One

Documentation is organized into a structured compliance binder — plans, narrative, BMP schedule, inspection forms, certifications, amendment log, and corrective-action records — so the site is ready for inspection and review rather than scrambling after the fact.

Inspection & Maintenance Documentation

A Record That Holds Up

Inspection requirements, forms, and maintenance procedures are built into the package so field observations, rainfall triggers, and BMP upkeep are documented consistently throughout the project.

Field BMP Coordination

Paperwork That Matches the Ground

The BMP schedule is coordinated with the approved civil plans and the real construction sequence, so what's written in the SWPPP matches what actually gets installed on site.

Optional BMP Installation

One Team, Documents to Dirt

Because LES is a field-capable contractor, the same team can install silt fence, inlet protection, construction entrances, and other BMPs called for in the SWPPP — closing the gap between the document and the site.

Ongoing Inspection Programs

Coverage Through the Build

LES provides routine and post-rain SWPPP inspections on a recurring basis, keeping documentation current and flagging maintenance before it becomes a compliance problem.

Corrective Action & Documentation

Findings Tracked to Close-Out

Inspection findings are documented with corrective-action records and photo documentation, tracked from identification through resolution so the compliance record stays defensible.

Project Closeout & NOT Assistance

Finish the Permit Cleanly

At final stabilization, LES assists with Notice of Termination (NOT) closeout documentation so the permit is closed out in an orderly, well-documented way. Certification and submission remain the operator's responsibility.

Scope of service. LES assists with preparation and organization of project-specific construction stormwater documentation. The project operator or responsible authority remains responsible for review, certification, permit submission, implementation, and ongoing compliance. LES does not become the permit operator and does not guarantee approval or compliance.

How the Process Works

From Civil Plans to Closeout

  1. 01

    Upload plans

    Send the civil plans, project information, and anticipated disturbance area. LES reviews and returns scope and pricing.

  2. 02

    Prepare package

    LES prepares the site-specific SWPPP documentation, BMP schedule, inspection forms, and compliance binder structure.

  3. 03

    NOI & coordination

    LES assists with NOI preparation and coordinates BMP placement with your team and the approved plans.

  4. 04

    Implement & inspect

    Optional field BMP installation, ongoing inspections, corrective-action documentation, and NOT closeout at completion.

Construction SWPPP FAQ

Do I need a SWPPP for a job under one acre?

Often yes. The Florida CGP threshold is one acre of disturbance, but a site under an acre is still covered when it is part of a larger common plan of development or sale — a half-acre lot inside a larger subdivision is the common example, and it is where small jobs most often get caught out. Local jurisdictions can also require erosion and sediment control below the state threshold, and a plan reviewer can condition approval on it regardless of acreage. If you are close to the line, confirm against the approved plans and the local requirements before assuming you are exempt.

What is a construction SWPPP and when is it required?

A SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan) documents how a construction site controls erosion, sediment, and other pollutants. In Florida, construction activity disturbing one or more acres is generally subject to the FDEP NPDES Construction Generic Permit (CGP), which requires SWPPP documentation. Specific applicability depends on the project and jurisdiction.

Does LES become the permit operator?

No. LES assists with preparation and organization of project-specific construction stormwater documentation. The project operator or responsible authority remains responsible for review, certification, permit submission, implementation, and ongoing compliance. LES does not become the permit operator and does not guarantee approval or compliance.

Can LES help with the NOI and NOT?

Yes. LES assists with Notice of Intent (NOI) preparation to initiate coverage and, at project completion, with Notice of Termination (NOT) closeout assistance. The operator remains responsible for certification and submission.

Can LES also install and inspect the BMPs?

Yes. Beyond the documentation, LES installs silt fence, inlet protection, construction entrances, and other BMPs, and provides ongoing SWPPP inspections, maintenance, post-rain response, and corrective-action documentation — the same field team from paperwork through closeout.

What do you need from us to price a SWPPP?

The civil plans, project and operator information, and the anticipated disturbed acreage are enough to return scope and pricing. Upload the plans and a short description of the project and timeline to get started.

Does LES guarantee permit approval or compliance?

No. LES prepares and organizes documentation and can support field implementation and inspections, but review, certification, submission, implementation, and ongoing compliance remain the responsibility of the operator or responsible authority.

Request SWPPP Pricing

Upload the civil plans and tell us the project, operator, and anticipated disturbed acreage. LES will review and return scope and pricing, typically within one business day.
