What is the primary permittee responsible for?

The primary permittee is primarily responsible for day-to-day operational control and compliance with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This involves ensuring that all erosion and sediment control measures are implemented effectively at the site. The permittee must monitor the activities and practices at the construction site to prevent runoff and minimize the impact on the surrounding environment, in accordance with regulatory standards.

Maintaining compliance with the SWPPP is crucial, as it outlines specific practices and measures that must be followed to prevent soil erosion and pollutant discharge into water bodies. This responsibility includes monitoring the effectiveness of sediment controls, making necessary adjustments, and maintaining records of inspections and maintenance.

While conducting individual assessments, overseeing contractors, and managing environmental mitigation plans are important tasks, they do not encompass the comprehensive day-to-day oversight that the primary permittee must uphold to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
