Construction Sites Program
The MS4 permit requires CDOT to implement a program to reduce or prevent the discharge of pollutants to the MS4 from covered construction activities. The requirements include assuring adequate design, implementation, and maintenance of Control Measures at CDOTs construction sites. CDOT assures the adequate design, implementation, and maintenance of temporary control measures at its construction sites.

CDOT must require control measures be selected, designed, installed and implemented, and maintained to provide control for all potential pollutant sources associated with the covered construction site to prevent pollution or degradation of state waters. Additionally CDOT must require Stormwater Management Plans (SWMPs), provide inspections of its construction sites, and have enforcement procedures to enforce the requirements of the permit.
