If questions or concerns arise about BMPs in a project SWPP, what should you do?

When questions or concerns arise about Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a project Stormwater Pollution Prevention (SWPP) plan, it is essential to contact the project SWPP designer and/or the Project Owner. This option is correct because the designer and Owner possess the specific expertise and authority regarding the SWPP implementation and BMPs tailored for the project.

By reaching out to these individuals, you ensure that the concerns are addressed by those who are most knowledgeable about the project's details, regulations, and intended outcomes. This communication is necessary for maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and for ensuring that the BMPs are effectively preventing stormwater pollution as designed.

Consulting coworkers may provide some general insights, but they may not have the comprehensive understanding of the project's SWPP or the technical background required to resolve the concerns properly. Ignoring the concerns could lead to compliance issues or more significant environmental impacts, which is not advisable. Consulting external environmental agencies could be beneficial in specific situations, but it is typically more appropriate to first address issues internally with those directly involved in the project. Thus, contacting the project designer and/or the Project Owner is the most appropriate and effective response to BMP-related questions or concerns.
