SWPPP Rainfall Compliance

The problem isn't the inspection.
It's knowing when you needed one.

RainLog makes that part obvious. We track rainfall at your sites and alert your team when an inspection is triggered. Documentation is ready before the deadline.

Why events get missed

It rained overnight. Nobody checked.

01
Weather apps don't track permit thresholds.

Whether accumulation crossed the trigger at your assigned station isn't something most teams catch outside business hours.

02
Auditors check the station data. Your records need to match.

They cross-reference NOAA precipitation records against your inspection timestamps. Station ID, accumulation, and timing all need to line up.

03
You didn't know it rained. The deadline didn't change.

Qualifying events trigger the same inspection requirement whether your team finds out at 2 AM or Monday morning.

Under the NPDES CGP, post-storm inspections are required within 24 hours of a qualifying event (40 CFR 122.26). State permits may define different thresholds and timing.

How it works

Add your sites. We handle the rest.

Add your sites

Enter a site address. RainLog maps it to a nearby NOAA station. You see which station and how far it is.

Rainfall is monitored automatically

NOAA precipitation data is checked continuously for every active site. No hardware. No sensors. No manual checking.

Threshold crossed. Your team is alerted.

When rainfall exceeds your permit threshold, email alerts go out to your team with the site, station, accumulation, and deadline.

Documentation is generated

Each event produces a log with station ID, accumulation, timestamps, and threshold. Download or email to your team.

Data source

Rainfall data from a source you can verify.

Every event is sourced from NOAA / National Weather Service precipitation data. Station ID and timestamp are included in every log. Verify the same data at weather.gov.

What this isn't

Built for people who already have a process.

RainLog doesn't replace your forms, checklists, or process.

It handles one thing: knowing when a qualifying event happened and having documentation ready before the deadline.

  • Works alongside your existing process
  • No new forms to fill out
  • No training required. Alert comes in, you go inspect.
  • No hardware to install or maintain
Common questions

What you'd want to know.

NOAA's National Weather Service. Each site is mapped to a nearby station. Every alert and log includes the station ID, coordinates, and distance from your site.

Same NOAA precipitation data used by federal and state agencies. We show you exactly which station and how far it is, so you can evaluate the match.

No. RainLog handles rainfall detection, alerts, and event documentation. Your inspections stay the same.

Station ID, coordinates, 24-hour accumulation, threshold, event timestamp, alert timestamp, and inspection deadline. All sourced from NOAA.

When rainfall at your mapped station crosses the threshold, designated contacts get an email alert with the site, station, accumulation, and deadline.

Number of active sites. Pricing is being finalized. Early access participants get straightforward terms and input on structure.

Anywhere in the US. NOAA station coverage is nationwide. Thresholds and timing vary by state permit.

We show you exactly which station and how far it is. In metro areas, typically a few miles. In rural areas, distances may be greater. You assess the match.
