The City of San Francisco is required by Federal, State, and local laws to implement programs that reduce the discharge of pollution to the local storm drain system. Runoff from construction sites is a major source of pollution and is subject to these requirements to improve stormwater quality. These requirements vary under different conditions, but can include the development of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (a SWPPP), plan review, stormwater treatment measures, runoff monitoring, and increased site inspections. To assist construction professionals understand and comply with new requirements, we have developed "Keep it on Site" as a part of our Construction Site Water Pollution Prevention Program to ensure that our precious public resources like clean water are never compromised.
These regulations require the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs), which are methods used on construction sites to keep pollution, such as dirt and construction site debris out of our sewage treatment system and sensitive local water bodies.
