To help you develop the narrative section of your construction site SWPPP, the City of Greenville has created electronic SWPPP templates. These templates are designed to help guide you through the SWPPP development process and help ensure that your SWPPP addresses all the necessary elements stated in your construction general permit. 

These templates cover the SWPPP elements that the State of South Carolina Construction General Permit requires, however the template serves as guidance only. You must customize this template to reflect the conditions at your project site. The site-specific SWPPP must be combined with proper and timely installation of the BMPs, thorough and frequent inspections, maintenance, and documentation. For guidance on appropriate BMPs, refer to the South Carolina DHEC Stormwater Management BMP Handbook. This document can be obtained at:

You can also use these templates with EPA’s guidance on Developing Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. This document can be obtained at:

The City of Greenville’s templates, forms, checklists and guidance documents can be obtained by downloading the appropriate zip file. Your options are for sites where the disturbance is greater than 10 acres and less than 10 acres. SWPPP are not required. Click on the links below for downloadable ZIP files:
