Which of the following must be included in a SWPPP?

• A. A budget estimate and schedule
• B. A risk assessment and emergency contact list
• C. A site map/narrative describing BMPs, sequence of construction, stabilization, inspections, and maintenance procedures
• D. A waste disposal plan and vendor contacts

Answer: (C)

A SWPPP must clearly show how stormwater controls will be implemented throughout the project. The essential element is a site map with a narrative describing the BMPs, the sequence of construction, stabilization plans, and the procedures for inspections and ongoing maintenance. This combination gives a precise, actionable plan for where controls go, what needs to be done at each stage, when stabilization should occur, and how inspections and maintenance will be carried out to keep them effective.

Budget estimates and schedules are project-management tools, not required components of the SWPPP. A risk assessment and emergency contact list are safety-focused items not typically part of the SWPPP, and a waste disposal plan with vendor contacts relates to waste management rather than stormwater controls.
