Before construction begins, which of the following is NOT a requirement?

Before construction begins, submitting the Notice of Termination is not a requirement. The Notice of Termination occurs after construction is completed and signals that the construction site no longer needs to be covered under the stormwater permitting process.

In contrast, preparing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP) is fundamental prior to starting construction, as it outlines measures to prevent stormwater contamination. Determining the operators is also crucial, as it identifies who will be responsible for managing the site and ensuring compliance with regulations. Finally, submitting the Notice of Intent (NOI) is necessary to obtain coverage under the relevant stormwater regulations before construction can commence. These steps are integral to ensuring proper management of stormwater and protecting the environment during the construction phase.
