SWPPP Compliance Process:

1. SWPPP determination and plan review.  Under building permit applications that include land disturbance, the Engineering Department will determine if your project requires a State General Construction Stormwater permit coverage (State permit) and which type.  You will be notified if your project requires a State permit or not.

• If a State permit is required- the Stormwater Coordinator will review the SWPPP plan for SWPPP requirements, and the SWPPP compliance process will begin as described below.
• If a State permit is not required- no further SWPPP action is needed.  NOTE:  Stormwater BMP's may still be required by Park City.

2. Apply for a State permit. Also known as filing a Notice of Intent (NOI).  State permits are filed through the State of Utah.

• If you have not applied for a State permit before, create an account with the State of Utah.  Create an account early because it can take a while to receive login credentials.  
• Once the building permit is issued and the SWPPP plan is approved, file an NOI with the State of Utah.

**To avoid delays, note the following**

• Choose the NOI for the type of State permit that applies to your project.
• Ensure the person who will be signing and submitting forms applies as a Signatory (not Preparer).
• Use full legal names and home addresses.
• Read and understand all requirements of the State permit that covers your project.  The State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or EPA may inspect your project at any time without notice.
• REMINDER: State permits are active for one year from the date you apply.  Renew as needed, until Notice of Termination (NOT) is requested.

3. Pre-Construction Meeting. If construction activity is required to obtain an UPDES Construction Storm Water Permit, a pre-construction SWPPP review is required.

4. SWPPP inspections.  SWPPP inspections are documented through UtiliSync.  NOTE: To use an alternate SWPPP inspection system, see Utilisync Guide.

• Once your SWPPP is approved, the Stormwater Coordinator will send a unique link to your project via email for Utilisync
• For your project, create and configure a site and include the following:

a. Upload a SWPPP and Site plan to the Site in Utilisync.

b. The public link button is a unique public link for your project that can be used on your SWPPP sign to make your SWPPP and inspections publicly available per State Permit requirements.

For Contractor SWPPP Inspections:

• Generally, inspections are required weekly (every 7 days).  Contractor SWPPP inspection requirements are provided with the State permit that covers your project.  Read and understand all requirements.
• Contractor to document their inspections through UtiliSync.
• REMINDER: State permits are active for one year from the date you applied.  Renew as needed, until Notice of termination (NOT) is requested.

For City SWPPP inspections:

• City SWPPP inspections are documented through UtiliSync.  Any action items must be repaired/replaced and closed out by the Contractor as required by the State permit.
• Contractor to provide SWPPP and Site plans onsite for all scheduled inspections.  Note: These plans are "working documents" where they are kept up to date, as the project changes, as required by the State permit.

5. Request termination of the State permit.  Also known as filing a Notice of Termination (NOT).  Once all work is complete and vegetation is stabilized, contact SWPPP Coordinator, Christine Williams at 435-615-5364 or christine.williams@parkcity.org for the following:

• Verify the State permit termination process can begin.
• Determine when to request an NOT with the State of Utah.
• Schedule the SWPPP Final Inspection.  NOTE: SWPPP Final inspection requirements are provided with the State permit that covers your project.  Read and understand all requirements.
• Receive long term inspection requirement instructions, if applicable.
• REMINDER: State permits are active for one year from the date you applied.  Renew as needed, until NOT is requested. 

6. Long Term Stormwater Management Process. Park City's MS4 Permit requires the City to implement regulatory mechanisms that manage runoff from development. Municipal Code 13-5 was adopted to achieve compliance with Long Term Stormwater Management with the State MS4 Permit. This requires all new developments and redevelopments to create a Long Term Stormwater Management Plan (LTSWMP) and sign a Maintenance Agreement that is recorded with the County.

• This process is outlined in detail on our Engineering Applications page, see item #9
• Two (2) documents are required: a Plan and an Agreement
  • Long Term Stormwater Maintenance Agreement
  • Long Term Stormwater Maintenance Plan (for larger developments)
  • Long Term Stormwater Maintenance Plan (for minor residential)
• The owner of the property must sign the agreement and have their signature notarized. The signature must match the owner listed on the title report.
• The original signed agreement must be submitted to the Engineering Department for recording with Summit County.
• This cannot be stapled or double sided.
