Can the SWPPP sequence of activities be modified, and if so, under what condition?

Not under any circumstances
After consultation with project SWPPP designer or project owner
Only if weather permits
Must follow a statewide permit

The correct answer is: After consultation with project SWPPP designer or project owner

The sequence of activities outlined in a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) can indeed be modified, but this adjustment must occur after consultation with the project SWPPP designer or project owner. This requirement ensures that any changes made to the plan still align with the overall objectives of stormwater management and pollutant control laid out in the SWPPP. Consultation with the designer or owner is crucial because they possess the expertise and understanding of the specific project conditions, allowing for informed decisions regarding modifications. Changes to the sequence can impact the effectiveness of erosion and sediment controls, so ensuring that the adjustments are safety and compliance checks with the original intentions of the SWPPP is essential. This approach prevents haphazard modifications that could lead to increased environmental risk, ensuring that the integrity and purpose of the original plan are maintained.
