This checklist is a starting point. Check each item against your current permit and your agency's standards before relying on it. Based on the Georgia EPD NPDES General Permits for construction (GAR100001 stand-alone, GAR100002 infrastructure, GAR100003 common development) and the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia (the Green Book). The plan is the Erosion, Sedimentation and Pollution Control Plan (ESPCP). Check each template against the current permit and your local requirements before relying on it.
