Best Management Practices

The Construction Site Runoff Control Program of the Beckley Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit requires developers to follow storm water pollution prevention plans, erosion and sediment control plans or minimum structural controls depending on the size of the project. 

All sites should implement appropriate structural and nonstructural controls to prevent erosion, control sediment and limit the potential of all pollutants associated with construction from being discharged to the municipal storm sewer and waters of the state. 

The West Virginia Best Management Practice Manual published by the WV DEP is our local standard for design and implementation of all BMPs.  The Manual can be found online here.
