SMARTS & Permitting Application Services
Full support for stormwater permitting through California’s SMARTS portal, as part of your Construction SWPPP compliance.
Get Permit-Ready With Confidence
Navigating California’s SMARTS system (Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System) is a key part of staying compliant with your Construction SWPPP under the Construction General Permit (CGP). Whether you’re building in Los Angeles, San Diego, or San Francisco, SoCal Stormwater Solutions is here to help.
Our team of certified QSP/QSD professionals will manage every SMARTS task on your behalf—from the first submission to project closeout—keeping your site compliant and avoiding costly violations.
What’s Included in Our SMARTS Services
We handle all key permit submissions and updates required by the California State Water Resources Control Board as part of your Construction SWPPP process.
Notice of Intent (NOI) Submission
A Notice of Intent is the official registration to begin construction under the California CGP.
Before construction begins, you’re required to file a Notice of Intent (NOI) through SMARTS to obtain CGP coverage and activate your Construction SWPPP.
We will:
- Register your project in the SMARTS system
- Upload Permit Registration Documents (PRDs)
- Generate your Waste Discharge Identification (WDID) number
- Ensure all required fields and attachments are submitted correctly
SWPPP Upload
The SWPPP upload makes your site’s stormwater control plan accessible to regulators.
Once your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is prepared, it must be uploaded to SMARTS.
We ensure:
- Your Construction SWPPP is properly labeled and formatted
- It is associated with the correct project and WDID
- All required maps, BMP attachments, and forms are submitted
Ad Hoc Report Submission
Ad Hoc reports are used to submit the sampling results as needed during construction.
We handle:
- Review, analyze, and upload sampling results.
- Upload backup documents as needed.
- Submit and assist to certify reports to the state.
Change of Information (COI) Submission
A COI reports are used to document unexpected changes during construction.
Changes on-site? You must submit a COI through SMARTS.
We handle:
- Documentation of personnel changes, site modifications, or updated BMPs
- COI report creation and submission
- Any required supporting uploads or updates to the Construction SWPPP
Annual Report Submission
The Annual Report summarizes your site’s stormwater compliance for the year.
Sites with an active Construction SWPPP must submit an Annual Report summarizing compliance.
We take care of:
- Collecting your inspection records, BMP logs, and rain event tracking
- Completing the report and uploading attachments
- Submitting the Annual report to the state.
Notice of Termination (NOT) Submission
The NOT formally closes your CGP coverage after site stabilization is complete. When your site reaches final stabilization, it’s time to close your Construction SWPPP coverage with a Notice of Termination (NOT). We provide:- Eligibility review and checklist guidance
- Submission of NOT with required stabilization photos and sign-off
- Follow-up to confirm permit closure
Erosivity Waiver
The Erosivity Waiver exempts eligible projects from full permit coverage. If your project qualifies for a waiver, we’ll file your Erosivity Waiver (R-Factor Waiver). We assist by:- Calculating your site’s R-factor using state-approved tools
- Verifying eligibility with project schedule and location
- Submitting the waiver and ensuring it’s properly documented in SMARTS
