How to Keep Your SWPPP Reports on Schedule

Much of SWPPP reporting is about knowing your schedule - when are reports due, how frequently and on which occasion.

Some reports are require weekly while others are trigger by events such as forecast rain or actual rain fall on site.

As a result, reviewing the project specifications and keeping track of these due dates is important.

Here are additional pointers for keeping reports on track:

Make a Schedule

Log each reporting requirement like a CCO or RFI log and know when reports are due.

Mark Your Calendar

Online tools such as Google Calendar make it easy to set weekly reminders to fill out reports.

Set Aside Templates

Fill out hard copies, scan them and save them together on your computer for easy access.

Save Email Templates

Copy over a typical transmittal email and save it in your "drafts" box as a transmittal template.

Conclusion

These are simple reminders and triggers for keeping reports on track. Some of the information may remain the same, which is why it is important to keep things on track and assure that they are turned in on time.
