Construction BMPs
Construction BMPs
8. Routine maintenance activities involving fertilizers, pesticides, detergents, fuels, solvents,
oils, etc.;
9. On-site waste management practices (waste piles, liquid wastes, dumpsters, etc.);
10. Concrete truck/equipment washing, including the concrete truck chute and associated fixtures
and equipment;
11. Dedicated asphalt and concrete batch plants;
12. Non-industrial waste sources such as worker trash and portable toilets; and
13. Other areas or procedures where potential spills can occur.
• BMPs for Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention. Identify and describe appropriate
BMPs including those listed in this section. Provide enough detail for each BMP to ensure proper
implementation, operation, and maintenance.

Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control. (e.g., wattles/sediment control logs and
temporary or permanent sediment basins).
Non-Structural Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control. (e.g., temporary vegetation and
permanent vegetation).
Phased BMP Implementation. Describe the relationship between the phases of construction, and
the implementation and maintenance of both structural and non-structural stormwater
management controls. Project phases might include different operations such as clearing and
grubbing; road construction; utility and infrastructure installation; vertical construction; final
grading; and final stabilization.
Materials Handling and Spill Prevention. Materials of interest could include: exposed storage of
building materials; paints and solvents; fertilizers or chemicals; waste material; and equipment
maintenance or fueling procedures.
Dedicated Concrete or Asphalt Batch Plants.
Vehicle Tracking Control. This BMP includes minimizing (as practicable) the number of areas
where construction vehicles are required to move from unpaved to paved areas as well as
providing structural BMPs at each location.
Waste Management and Disposal, Including Concrete Washout.
Groundwater and Stormwater Dewatering. These activities often require a separate permit that
includes sampling of processed waters. However, in some cases, these activities can be
conducted without a separate permit when processed water is not discharged from the site as
surface runoff or discharged into surface waters. The SWMP should describe how these waters
will be used (i.e., land application, infiltration, evaporation) and how the specific practices at the
site will ensure that these waters are not discharged via runoff.
