Create a field-ready Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan package for review, signature, and submission, built to Tennessee's Construction General Permit (TNR100000) and TDEC requirements. Minutes, not weeks. No engineer required for eligible non-engineered Tennessee SWPPPs.
Who this is for: eligible Tennessee contractor SWPPPs and single-family residential CN-1249 packages. Projects with sediment basins, engineered controls, stream or wetland impacts, impaired waters, large drainage areas, or local sealed-plan requirements may require approved plans or engineer review - the quiz and forms will flag this.
Maximum Clean Water Act civil penalty, per day, per violation. Stormwater enforcement on construction sites continues to increase.
Typical range a civil engineer charges to prepare a SWPPP, and more on larger or complex sites.
Typical turnaround to get a SWPPP back from an engineer, after the back-and-forth, reviews, and stamp queue.
Land disturbance that triggers an NPDES permit in Tennessee, including a smaller lot that is part of a larger common plan.

What you get
Most "SWPPP generators" give you a fillable form. SWPPP Builder produces a fully written package, with narratives and BMP descriptions populated from your actual project data.
The proposed construction activity consists of site grading, utility installation, and foundation work for a commercial development located at 4821 Ridgeline Blvd, Nashville, TN 37210. The project will disturb approximately 4.7 acres of a 6.2-acre parcel. Pre-development land use is undeveloped grassland with moderate slopes (2–8%). Post-development impervious cover will be approximately 68%...
| BMP | Install trigger | Responsible party |
|---|---|---|
| Stabilized construction exit | Before any land disturbance | Site contractor |
| Silt fence (perimeter) | Before upslope grading | Site contractor |
| Inlet protection | As inlets become active | Site contractor |
Section 6 - Inspections: Inspect all controls at least twice per calendar week (at least 72 hours apart) and within 24 hours of any storm of 0.5 inch or greater, per TDEC permit TNR100000.
What's inside
Not a fillable template. Each package is a written, organized SWPPP with the sections a Tennessee inspector expects, ready to review, sign, and submit.
What's included · Non-Engineered & Engineered SWPPP
The homebuilder package follows the CN-1249 form and does not include the contractor appendices above.
Pricing
No subscriptions. Pay once per project - a fraction of the $1,500–$5,000 an engineer charges.

Straight talk
SWPPP Builder is built for eligible non-engineered contractor SWPPPs, approved-plan packages, and single-family CN-1249 lots. If your project involves any of the following, you may need engineer-stamped plans or professional review - and that's a good thing to know before you build, not after an inspection:
The quiz and the forms flag these as you go, so you're routed to the right path - or told when to bring in an engineer.
