An SWPPP will need a full description of the type of construction activity that will occur at the site. This includes what is being built, the size of the site, which includes the area that is disturbed around the building site and how the area is going to disturbed. You will also need to estimate the amount of runoff from both the pre-construction and post-construction conditions, along with soil and discharge quality from the site.

All SWPPP need to have lists of any threatened and endangered species or if there are critical habitats within the proximity of the construction site. The SWPPP requirements include if there is going to any effect on the species from the storm water discharge from the construction site. It is required that you implement all the measures to protect the species and habitats that are in your SWPPP.
