1. Statewide Stormwater Management Plan

This 314 page plan describes a program to reduce the discharge of pollutants associated with the stormwater drainage systems that serve highways and transportation-related properties, facilities and activities. This plan identifies how ADOT complies with the provisions of the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) stormwater program.

2. ADOT Statewide Stormwater Permit Application
This Permit Application is available for download on its own separate Web page. It reflects the current Arizona storm water regulatory structure and covers various activities and locations for which there was no existing, appropriate permit application. ADOT submitted the application in March 2005 and received a completeness letter from ADEQ in July 2005.

3. Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Template

Note: Please download the instructions first and read them before downloading the Construction SWPPP Template. This template is to help ensure that the SWPPP contains all required components. ADOT has updated the third version of the template to make the template consistent with the changes ADEQ made to the 2008 Construction General Permit as well as those included in the ADOT Individual Statewide Stormwater Permit effective September 2008. The fourth version of the Construction SWPPP Template is available for download below.

You are welcome to send additional comments on this revised template through the Contact page at the Office of Environmental Services site.

9. Erosion and Pollution Control Manual / BMP Detail Drawings

This manual will assist in the development of erosion and pollution control during both design and construction of roadways. It outlines ADOT’s procedures for complying with water quality regulations and permits, provides a variety of available Best Management Practices (BMPs), and guidance in the selection of those BMPs on ADOT construction project. The downloaded material for this manual is available on its own separate Web page.

The sediment control and water quality protection BMP detail drawings are also available for download on its separate Web page. They are periodically updated. Please refer to the list of these drawings frequently for future updates.

Appendix A.6 - Methodology for Determining Final Stabilization within the Erosion and Pollution Control Manual has been recently revised and is available at the third link below.

More information on erosion/sediment control, such as a listing of registered landscape architects and professionals in erosion control, can be found at the Roadside Development Section.
