There are multiple Federal Regulations that play a role on how to properly manage stormwater runoff, some more so than others. The first of these regulations was issued in 1968 as the National Flood Insurance Program. This was the first federal law related to stormwater management and required communities to meet specific policies and procedures while building in floodplains as an attempt to alleviate flooding that was being reported across the country.
The Clean Water Act tasked the EPA with the role of developing a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program that would help cease the degradation of all natural waterways and begin a movement that would eventually restore these waterways to their once pristine glories.
Submitting the correct stormwater review fees is essential to ensure timely reviews by S.C. DHEC's staff, for the official review clock is not started until all fees have been paid. On the occasion that the proper fees have not been submitted or if the submitted payment cannot be processed, S.C. DHEC will notify the Project Owner/Operator in an effort to correct the error as fast as possible.

Stormwater runoff from construction activities can have a significant impact on water quantity. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it can pick up pollutants like sediment, debris, and chemicals and transport these to a nearby storm sewer system or directly to a river, lake, or coastal waterways. Polluted stormwater runoff can harm or kill fish and other wildlife.
