New Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Template
Good afternoon,
We are pleased to announce the release of an updated SWPPP Template for the NYC DEP Stormwater Permitting Program.
This template has been revised with a number of new features that are intended to help applicants understand and meet SWPPP requirements, address key pain points identified in the SWPPP preparation process, and better-align the template with the Unified Stormwater Rule, which went into effect in February 2022. Key features of the updated SWPPP template include:
Standardized tables for entry of information, where possible, to reduce narratives and streamline inputs
Extensive in-document guidance, in the form of instructions, footnotes, and regulatory references to complement input tables and clarify requirements
Explicit outlines of required supporting documentation, in the form of detailed checklists for each appendix.
We hope that the updated SWPPP template will help to streamline the SWPPP preparation and review process. Questions on the program can be sent to stormwaterpermits@dep.nyc.gov.

Please note that if you have recently downloaded the previous SWPPP template, you may need to clear you browsing history, including cached images and files, to properly download the latest version.
