Iowa Construction
Stormwater Inspections
Iowa's NPDES General Permit No. 2 covers stormwater discharges from construction activities disturbing one or more acres. Administered by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the permit requires a SWPPP and routine inspections. Iowa's agricultural landscape and extensive waterway network require particular attention to sediment control to protect downstream water quality and comply with nutrient reduction strategies.
