The SWMP describes the Best Management Practices (BMPs), measurable goals, and timetables for implementation of the following six minimum Control measures:
- Public Education and Public Participation
- Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
- Post-Construction Storm Water Runoff Management
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
