Why this matters

A SWPPP is not paperwork. It is the document a TCEQ inspector reads before they ever look at your site.

Any Texas site disturbing one acre or more needs a SWPPP prepared to comply with TXR150000, and active CGP coverage, before the first scraper turns dirt. TCEQ does not review or approve the plan. You certify it, you file the NOI, and the plan has to stand on its own the day an inspector opens it. Skip it and you are looking at $32,500 a day, a stop-work order, and a permit history TCEQ does not forget.

A site-specific SWPPP that clears the TCEQ Construction General Permit, the City of San Antonio, and Bexar County review, and that holds up the first time an inspector walks the gate.

A SWPPP is the operating document that proves your construction site is controlling erosion, sediment, and pollutant discharge during land disturbance. The TCEQ Construction General Permit (TXR150000) requires one for any project disturbing one acre or more, plus any smaller site that rolls into a larger common plan of development. In San Antonio that catches most subdivisions, almost every commercial pad, and the school and municipal work coming out of Bexar County right now.

We write SWPPPs the way a superintendent reads them. Maps line up with the construction sequence on the CSP, BMP locations match what the field crew will install Monday morning, and inspection forms are calibrated to the reviewer at the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, San Marcos, New Braunfels, or whichever AHJ owns the project. No template swaps, no boilerplate with another firm's logo whited out. The plan ships as a hard-copy binder for the field office and a digital copy for ownership.

The package covers more than the document. We file the Notice of Intent with TCEQ, confirm CGP coverage before you break ground, file the Notice of Termination once final stabilization is signed off, and walk the binder with your superintendent so the first weekly inspection actually gets logged. If TCEQ or the City inspector shows up in week three, your foreman knows where the SWPPP lives and what page to open.

Our process

How a SWPPP gets written, filed, and handed off in Bexar County.

  1. Step 01

    Site walk

    We walk the parcel with your CSP, mark flow paths, locate disturbed acreage, and photograph existing drainage.

  2. Step 02

    Plan drafting

    Narrative, maps, and BMP details written to your construction sequence and the AHJ's review checklist.

  3. Step 03

    NOI filing

    Notice of Intent submitted to TCEQ; permit coverage confirmed in writing before the first scraper moves.

  4. Step 04

    Field handoff

    Binder delivered to the trailer, walked with your superintendent, first inspection logged.

Common questions

Questions San Antonio GCs ask before they sign the SWPPP order.

If your project will disturb one acre or more of soil, or is part of a larger common plan that does, Texas requires TCEQ permit coverage and a SWPPP before construction begins. We handle the whole package.

Two to three weeks from the day we have your site plan and grading plan. TCEQ does not approve SWPPPs. You file the Notice of Intent, you get your permit number, and the plan lives on site. What takes the time is the drawing set and the BMP layout, not a review queue.

The operator signs. On most San Antonio jobs that's the general contractor, and every subcontractor who disturbs soil signs the contractor certification page. We prepare the signature pages and walk the binder with your superintendent, so the people signing have actually read what they're signing.

You file a Notice of Termination once the site meets final stabilization. Until that NOT is filed and accepted, your permit is still live and you still owe inspections. That surprises people who thought the last concrete pour ended the obligation. We do the final stabilization walk and file the NOT.

Yes, and this is the single most common finding we see written up. TXR150000 requires the plan to reflect what is actually on the ground. If the grading sequence moved, a basin got relocated, or a phase line shifted, the plan and the maps get amended and the amendment is dated. We do amendments for our own plans at no charge during construction, and for plans somebody else wrote at a flat fee.

No. The recharge and contributing zones sit under a separate TCEQ program (30 TAC Chapter 213), which wants a Water Pollution Abatement Plan approved before construction, on top of your CGP coverage. That one TCEQ does review and approve, and the review takes time. Bring us in early on a recharge-zone site, because the WPAP schedule usually drives the whole project calendar.
