Ohio Construction
Stormwater Inspections
Ohio's Construction General Permit OHC000005 is administered by the Ohio EPA for construction activities disturbing one or more acres. The permit places strong emphasis on both construction-phase and post-construction stormwater controls. Ohio's Lake Erie watershed areas face additional nutrient reduction requirements, and the state's clay soils present challenges for effective sediment management.
