Construction Storm Water

Construction disturbing over ½ acre must meet certain requirements and develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to mitigate sediment and other storm water pollutants originating from improperly managed construction projects.

Wood County has adopted TMACOG’s SWPPP submission requirements. The goal is to simplify the site plan review process while satisfying Ohio EPA’s Construction General Permit (OHC000005) requirements. This process and the required documentation listed below have been adopted by many jurisdictions in Northwest Ohio.

Wood County's Storm Water Resolution

The submittal must include:

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Submittal Cover Sheet & SWPPP Contact List.
Contractor Contact Sheet and Certification Form for each contractor.
One (1) copy of complete SWPPP (plan sheets, documents, forms, etc).
One (1) copy of completed Ohio EPA SWPPP Checklist.
One (1) copy of storm drainage, sediment settling pond, and post-construction storm water quality calculations.
One (1) copy of BMP maintenance agreement with long-term maintenance plan.
Digital copy (PDF) of all items submitted.

Wood County charges a fee which covers the cost of plan review, permit processing, and inspection. Fees must be made payable to the “Wood County Engineer”. All fees must be received prior to the approval of the plans. The fee schedule is below:

Lot Construction

Individual lot construction, even if it disturbs under the ½ acre threshold, is still subject to Wood County’s Erosion and Sediment Control Regulations if it is part of a common plan of development or sale (e.g. lot in a platted subdivision). If your home construction meets this standard, please complete and submit the individual lot construction form.
