*The OS-SWPPP is not required per SCDHEC’s CGP to be submitted to York County
for review. York County does request a copy of the OS-SWPPP to be submitted for the
inspectors file. Per SCDHEC’s CGP, the OS-SWPPP is required to hold the preconstruction meeting. It will be the responsibility of the Financial Responsible party to
ensure the OS-SWPPP is available for the pre-construction meeting and kept on-site.
Please note that additional requirements may apply to the site based on site design and
BMP’s provided. Additional requirements will apply for sites that disturb 1 acre or more
of land (Type III grading permit) or sites which are part of a larger common plan (LCP)
that ultimately disturb more than 1 acre of land. Refer to Section 152.40 of the York
County Code of Ordinances and SCDHEC Construction General Permit for more details.
For projects disturbing 1 acre or more of Land, Designers should utilize and submit
SCDHEC’s “Stormwater Management and Sediment & Erosion Control Plan Review
checklist for Design Professional” for an aid in the design of Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plans (SWPPP). The completed checklist should be submitted with the
SWPPP for review. Contact the Environmental Compliance Division at (803)-684-8571
with any questions.
