How is site drainage and water control provided on the jobsite?

What will be an ideal response?


The contractor needs to control site drainage within the area to prevent disruption of work. Drainage and possible pumping should be used to keep excavated areas clear of water while work is being done there. The contractor also will be responsible for controlling all site drainage to avoid environmental damage or influence. Many states and municipalities require the contractor to submit a plan on site storm water drainage and containment. For construction sites that are one acre or larger, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be prepared and submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This plan must be followed and monitored for compliance to avoid polluting the waterways or groundwater. Noncompliance to the SWPPP regulations can result in substantial fines from the EPA.
