Stormwater Construction Compliance

(Best if viewed through internet explorer browser) Self Inspection Training This program was created by Muncie / Yorktown / Delaware County Stormwater Management as a tool to help Contractors stay in compliance. Feel free to use this power point presentation as a training tool for your employees. This online training can be viewed and studied at your convenience. In addition, you may call this office to schedule a certification test. Upon successful completion of the test, a pocket certification card and wall certificate will be issued. This program was recently presented to an INAFSM Inspector's Group and received favorable comments by inspectors from across the state. It is now being promoted by the Indiana Ready Mix Association, as well. Please keep in mind, this is not yet a requirement, only a tool to help educate you and your employees. It is provided to you free, in an effort to make both your job, and ours, a little easier. Stormwater Construction Ordinance The Stormwater Ordinance requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which includes erosion and sediment control measures and material handling procedures. This plan must be submitted as part of the construction plans and specifications in order to be issued a grading permit for construction sites disturbing one acre or more in Delaware County. Sites disturbing less than one acre may also require plans if they are part of a larger development. This ordinance requires Post-Construction stormwater control measures, for new and re-development, to be submitted and approved as part of the construction plans and specifications. This pertains to all land disturbances, including demolition and ponds.

| Why? Sedimentation is the largest pollutant by volume effecting Indiana streams and rivers. One acre of unmanaged construction site can produce between 80 and 100 tons of sediment per acre, per year. Other pollutants from job sites may include oil, hydraulic fluids, building materials and debris, and concrete washout, which discourages recreational use, contaminates drinking water supplies and interferes with habitat for fish, other aquatic organisms and wildlife.
