California State Water Resources Control Board Construction General Permit (CGP) 2022-0057-DWQ requires coverage for any project disturbing one acre or more. A Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) must prepare a SWPPP with erosion control, sediment control, and good housekeeping BMPs.

Typical BMPs include fiber rolls, silt fence, stabilized construction entrances, and covered material stockpiles. Morrison Creek and the American River watershed are sensitive receiving waters subject to elevated enforcement.
