FAQs about SSp1 :

How do I know if my local code is more or less stringent than the EPA CGP?

Is there a table that summarizes the changes that were introduced by the 2012 version of the standard, as compared to 2003?

If a project decided to pursue LEED after the completion of demolition but before construction, can we prove ESC measures were implemented through pictures, without having an explicit ESC plan?

NC-v4 SSp1:Construction activity pollution prevention

IECA vs US EPA CGP

Hi,

We are working on a project outside of the US, and our Civil Engineer has developed their plan in accordance with IECA (International Erosion Control Association) standards. I am trying to understand the differences between the US EPA CGP and IECA, and figure I would reach out, in case anyone has looked at both standards recently, and can provide a little insight, or direction on where to focus my narrative.

Hi Gregory, Overall, all control strategy in IECA comply with the requirements outlined in the CGP. The US EPA CGP consists of 3 sections (erosion and sedimentation control, stabilization, and pollution prevention) while IECA consists of 6 sections (erosion control, sediment control, drainage control, de watering, instream practices, and miscellaneous). The IECA is a non-profit, international, member organization that provides education, resource information and business opportunities for professionals in the erosion and sediment control industry which has several chapters, one of them is Australasian Chapter (https://www.austieca.com.au/about-us/about-us). For narrative, you should include timing of the implementation of the plan, specific control measures applied on site, and maintenance protocols used to ensure the proper function of control measures.
