Self-monitoring Program Template - Indiana Construction General Permit (CSGP)

Sep 1, 2026

Self-monitoring program template content based on Indiana’s Construction Stormwater General Permit (CSGP) requires permittees to develop and implement a self-monitoring mechanism to manage construction sites and maintain measures that reduce sediment and other construction-related pollutants. The sample form supports required site-specific targeting, includes location descriptions (narrative or map), and must be documented within the project management log. Corrective actions are triggered within 48 hours or 7 days depending on the deficiency remedy, and MS4 projects may use the form only when allowed.

Self-monitoRing Program The Indiana Construction General Permit (INRA00000) was issued on December 18th, 2021, by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The construction stormwater general permit (CSGP) is a performance-based regulation that contains specific requirements. One of the requirements is to develop and implement a self-monitoring program. The self-monitoring program is a mechanism to mange the construction project to ensure appropriate steps are taken to implement and maintain measures that will reduce the discharge of sediment and other pollutants associated with construction activities. IDEM has developed a sample form that can be used by permittees and/or their representatives to implement the self-monitoring program. This form is not required by IDEM but is being provided to permittees that are required to comply with the CSGP and meet the requirements to conduct a self-monitoring program. The requirements of the self-monitoring program can be found in the CSGP Section 3.6. The CSGP is available at: HYPERLINK "https://www.in.gov/idem/stormwater/construction-land-disturbance-permitting/" https://www.in.gov/idem/stormwater/construction-land-disturbance-permitting/ The form contains specific information that is required as part of a self-monitoring program. The form contains specific requirements that can be targeted to specific locations on the project site. Location information can be a narrative or used in conjunction with a map that identifies areas within the project. If a map is used, the map should be included as part of the self-monitoring report. The self-monitoring program documentation is required to be part of the project management log. Information on the project management log can be found in Section 3.7 of the CSGP. Corrective action must be initiated within 48 hours of discovery of deficiencies when maintenance is required and within seven (7) days of discovery of deficiencies when a new (alternative) or replacement measure is required. If the project is within and regulated by a Municipal separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), the MS4 may allow the use of this form to meet the local MS4 stormwater ordinance. It is the responsibility of the permittee and/or their representative to verify if this form is allowed for projects regulated by the MS4 or if the MS4 requires a form specific to meet the needs of the MS4 stormwater ordinance.
