Can the SWPP implementation sequence be modified?

The implementation sequence of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPP) plan can indeed be modified with written approval from the appropriate parties. This is important because while the SWPP outlines specific procedures and methodologies to ensure effective stormwater management and pollution prevention, flexibility can be necessary to adapt to changing circumstances, improvements in techniques, or unforeseen issues that may arise during implementation.

Obtaining written approval ensures that any changes made are documented and authorized, maintaining quality control and compliance with regulatory standards. It prevents potential issues that could arise from making unauthorized modifications, ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of and agree with the adaptations. This process supports accountability and traceability while allowing for necessary evolutions in the SWPP.

The other options imply that changes can be made either without oversight or are constrained to minor adjustments, which could jeopardize the effectiveness of stormwater management practices.
