Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSGP) Review

Submission Procedures for Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSGP), formerly Rule 5

Applicable Projects: The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District reviews the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for construction projects that exceed one acre and are owned by Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, or Hamilton County. Through agreement, we also review plans for all projects within the corporate limits of Sheridan and Arcadia.

Submission Guidelines: A digital copy of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be submitted below.  Submissions must include the name, address, email address, and phone number of the contact person for questions pertaining to the plan. A hard copy of the quarter sheets may also be submitted directly to our office.  

Size: Digital copies of plans are preferred.  Files must not exceed 20MB, but can be separated into multiple files. Hard copies of quarter sheets (11” x 17”) are preferred to full-size sheets. Additional narrative documentation can be on standard letter size.

Optional: Complete the Project Information section of the Standard Technical Review and Comment Form and submit it digitally below.

Plan Review Process: Plans are reviewed in the order that they are received. The Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSGP) provides 14 days for review. We will attempt to provide a review in one week.  The Standard Technical Review and Comment Form will be emailed to the contact person with any comments.  It can be advantageous for the designer and reviewer to meet and discuss a plan- especially complex ones. This meeting can take place before or after submission.

Revisions: If revised plans need to be submitted, please submit only those sheets that have been changed. These can be submitted digitally in .pdf format or hard copy.
