NOI (Notice of Intent) (For land disturbance activities that disturb an area greater than 1 acre) filed

Wetlands
The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes a program that regulates the discharge of dredged or fill material
into waters of the United States, including wetlands. Please visit US Army Corp of Engineers webpage for
more information. www.nwo.usace.army.mil/html/od-tl/tri-lakes.html
A common plan of development or “sale” is a site where multiple separate and distinct construction
activities may be taking place at different times on different schedules; however, each lot that will be sold
is required to have its own SWPPP.
For sites that are part of a common plan of development or smaller than 1 acre, use the CPoD
Template found at www.provo.org. or call (801) 709-9717.
Projects over 1 acre: The permittee must post a sign within 7 days of the issue date on this permit.
The following must be posted near the main entrance to the project site, the SWPPP map, and the
current NOI.
Sign Information:
Exterior grade ¾” Plywood cut 4’x4’, with red letters, white background, and must
include the following text.
SWPPP
A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan covers this construction site.
If any non-storm water discharge or severe vehicle tracking occurs please call
(801) 709-9717 or (801) 367-1265.
Example of the Main Entrance sign
SWPPP sign requirements for all secondary entrances. The sign must be 18”x24” and must include

Control Measures
The proposed control measures shall be designed to prevent or minimize, to the maximum extent
practicable, the discharge of sediment, debris and other construction-related pollutants from the
construction site by storm water runoff into the storm drainage system.
Check each item that you will use. Many items are mandatory; initial those to verify that you have read
them and will comply.
_______ No dirt or debris placed on the roadways, sidewalk and curb (Mandatory).
If using chemical toilets, it must be place minimum of 6’ away from impervious surfaces (e.g.
_______ roadways, sidewalk, and curb) and staked down to prevent tipping (Mandatory).
_______ Concrete washout/collection containment area is installed (Mandatory).
Potential soil erosion and storm water runoff will be controlled by:
(Please check all that apply)
SWPPP Team
Each owner/operator must assemble a storm water team. The team will be responsible for overseeing the
development of the SWPPP. The team is responsible for compliance and requirements of the SWPPP.

Construction Site
Treatment chemicals will be used on site? If so you must provide an approval letter from
the DWQ.
Site is within 50’ of surface water? If so the proper Buffer Documentation will be required
_____ Staff training will be done according to the General Construction Permit.
_____ The SWPPP will stay onsite/online and be available within 30 minutes.
Notice of Violation
Whenever the City finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed to comply with a requirement of
the permit, the City will order compliance by written notice of violation to the responsible person. Such
notice may be required without limitations of verbal warning with corrections and/or monetary citation.
Violations and Enforcement
〉 The violation of any of the provisions to this Article shall be a Class C misdemeanor. Each day
that a violation occurs shall constitute a separate offense. Each violation/infraction is considered
a separate offence each day.
〉 Authorized code enforcement personnel working under the direction of the Public Works
Department Director and/or Development of Services Department Director are hereby declared to
be Public Officials within the meaning of Section 77-7-18 Utah Code as amended, and these
Public Officials are hereby authorized to issue misdemeanor citations and/or stop work order for
violations of this Chapter.

under the authority of the Utah Water Quality Act, Title 19, and Chapter 5 of the Utah Code.
〉 In addition to any criminal fines and/or penalties which may be assessed for a violation of this
Article, the City shall have the right to install and/or maintain appropriate erosion and sediment
control measures on any site which is required to have such measures. In the event that
construction activity is commenced or continued without such measures having been installed as
required by this Article, the City shall have the right to have such measures installed or
maintained by City personnel or to hire a private contractor to perform such work. The contractor
and/or the property owner shall be liable for any and all expenses related to performing such
work plus a 25% penalty charge. The City may assess said charges against the bond posted by
the contractor and/or property owner and/or developer.
〉 Violators of this Article may also be subject to prosecution, fines and penalties from the State of

Terminating Coverage (NOT)
Operators wishing to terminate coverage under this permit must submit a Notice of Termination (NOT)
found in the addendum section in the Utah State Storm Water General Permit for Construction
Activities. www.deq.utah.gov/Permits/water/updes/stormwatercon.htm#not
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Construction Activity Template will not be considered terminated
until the Permittee submits a Notice of Termination to the Division of Water Quality and the Notice is
accepted by the City. The City shall accept the Notice if the Permittee has met the requirements of the
Permit. The Permittee shall keep and maintain all Permit-required improvements on the site until the City
accepts the NOT.
All Permittees must submit a NOT within thirty (30) days after completion of their construction activities
and final stabilization of their portion of the site, or another operator taking over all of their
responsibilities at the site. A Permittee cannot submit an NOT without final stabilization unless another
party has agreed to and filled a Notice of Intent (NOI) to assume responsibility for final stabilization of the
site. Appropriate enforcement actions may be taken for permit violations where a Permittee submits a
NOT but the Permittee has not transferred operational control to another Permittee or the site has not
undergone final stabilization. If Permittee is developing the property and it planning to sell
individual lots then it will be the responsibility of the Permittee to legally transfer the SWPPP
portion of that lot to the new owner. The new owner will then have to obtain a new permit and
implement his/her own SWPPP for that lot before the NOT will be accepted.
SWPPP Inspection Required
Before any construction work can being, the SWPPP must be implemented. Once the BMP’s have
been installed, a site inspection will be required. When submitting an NOT, a final site inspection
will be required. No SWPPP will be released until the area of disturbance has been stabilized.
I understand that this SWPPP template is required and will remain in effect until the entire project is
stabilized, including re-vegetation and the NOT has been filled and accepted. All control measures will be
inspected at least weekly and immediately after or during every storm even of .5 inches or more. Tracking
onto roads will be cleaned up immediately. Written records of all inspections, changes to this plan, and
failures of control devices will be kept. The contractor is required to train all subcontractors, vendors,
delivery personnel, and others who will be working on the site. The contractor is responsible for
compliance of the SWPPP for the entire site and duration of the project. I am aware that there are
significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fines and imprisonment
for known violations. I understand that a pre-SWPPP inspection will be needed before any work can
commence and a NOT will be submitted when the project is finished.
