Which of the following is NOT required in the general information section of the SWPPP?

The correct answer is the option that indicates construction cost estimates are not required in the general information section of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP serves as a comprehensive document that outlines the policies, procedures, and practices designed to minimize the impact of stormwater runoff from construction sites on the environment.

In the general information section, key components such as legible site plans, a copy of the general permit (GP) authorizing the construction activities, and a narrative description of the construction activity are all critical for informing regulatory agencies and stakeholders about the project's potential impacts and management practices. Legible site plans help visualize the project layout, while the narrative provides context and details about the construction process and erosion control measures being implemented.

However, construction cost estimates do not provide information relevant to the management of stormwater pollution or the environmental impacts of the construction activity. While useful for project management and budgeting, they are not necessary elements of the SWPPP's general information section, which focuses on aspects that directly relate to stormwater management and compliance with regulatory requirements.
