Have a project in Tennessee?
Our Tennessee SWPPP permitting services are designed to get your project started and ensure compliance with state and local SWPPP requirements. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, also known as a SWPPP, SWP3, or SW3P, is a site-specific document that identifies:
- – The scope of the project
- – The operator(s) responsible for implementing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
- – Potential sources of stormwater pollution at the construction site
- – The measures that will be implemented to contain on-site pollutants and prevent them from being carried off-site in the form of runoff during storms.
How to obtain permit coverage in Tennessee
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) General Permit TNR100000 allows general contractors, developers, and home builders to discharge stormwater into state waterways, provided they comply with the terms of the permit. The first requirement for contractors and developers is to develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The second requirement is to obtain permit coverage. There are two paths to obtaining coverage under the Tennnessee General Permit TNR100000.
| Option 1 | Option 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Single family residential homebuilding sites with no significant grading | Projects disturbing 1 or more acres, or that are part of a larger common plan of development | |

It can include one operator or many operators.
Example: A subdivision is being developed. You are building homes on 2 acres, another company is clearing 3 acres in the next phase, and a contractor is excavating another 0.5 acres for a pond. In this case, the total area that would be disturbed is 5.5 acres. As a result, each operator would be subject to the requirements associated with disturbing 5 or more acres.
“Construction” refers to actions that result in a disturbance of the land, including clearing, grading, excavating, and other similar activities.
It also includes “construction-related activities,” areas that support the construction project such as stockpiles, borrow areas, concrete truck washouts, fueling areas, material storage areas and equipment storage areas. Construction activities that do not disturb land, such as interior remodeling, generally do not require LPDES or NPDES permit coverage.
