I am working on a project that encompasses the major renovation of an existing classroom/warehouse building. The renovation primarily consists of HVAC and lighting system upgrades, a new PV system, and roof repairs. There will not be any sitework or excavation during construction. I understand there are three overall goals of the ESC plan- prevent loss of soil, prevent sedimentation from entering storm drains, and prevent pollution of air with particulates. However, due to minimal sitework, loss of soil and air pollution will likely not be an issue with this scope. The city where the project is located informed the team they were exempt from these requirements. Has anyone successfully pursued an alternate compliance approach for a project in a similar situation?

I've had a similar project and still had a lot of the same standard ESC plan items in there. Our contractor still needed lay down spaces and trailer spaces. We still had to protect storm drains, dust mitigation, etc. It was just on a smaller scale. Tailor your ESC requirements to the site you have but remember to include the construction impact.
