North Carolina Department of Environmental Management
NC requires applicable construction sites to design and develop an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.
In addition, the Plan must incorporate the requirements of the Construction Stormwater Permit.
This combined package is considered as the Construction SWPPP.
Construction Stormwater Permit
Post construction stormwater associated with construction development is also regulated in all coastal counties and various other counties and watersheds.
North Carolina Department of Transportation
NCDOT manages a state-wide stormwater program for a comprehensive transportation network.

NCSU Sediment and Erosion Control Research and Education Facility (SECREF)
NCSU is the premier education and outreach institution for erosion, sediment, and turbidty research in the state. Dr. Rich McLaughlin coordinates operations at SECREF.
South Carolina is on the leading edge of erosion and sediment control, BMP use and specification at the state level. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) maintains an extensive library of specifications for all erosion and sediment control practices; including generic specification, performance requirements, and installation guides. The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) maintains qualified products lists for use on any SCDOT funded roadway projects.
