Catch stormwater compliance issues before they become violations.

Most California CGP violations come down to paperwork — late reports, missed inspections, BMP logs lost in spreadsheets. Slate Point is a small tool built for mid-market builders to fix that.

The compliance cost is climbing.

Under the 2022 Construction General Permit, California's State Water Resources Control Board tightened numeric effluent limits, inspection cadence, and reporting requirements. A Caltrans analysis estimated annual compliance costs could nearly double — from ~$175M to $325-348M statewide.

And the top three violation categories in SMARTS haven't changed in a decade:

None of these are failures of skill. They're failures of process — the paperwork gets ahead of the spreadsheet, and a missed checkbox turns into a violation weeks later.

How Slate Point works.

Built specifically for California CGP compliance. Not a generic project-management tool.

Step 1

We set it up for you.

No CSV uploads, no training on your side. We build your permit-and-site tree from your SMARTS filings.

Step 2

Your team works as usual.

Inspections and logs flow in from the field. We track schedules, deadlines, and BMP docs automatically.

Step 3

You get alerts, not violations.

We tell you when a report is coming due, an inspection is overdue, or a BMP log is missing — before it lands in SMARTS.

Who it's for.

California construction firms and developers managing 3-20 active CGP sites. The band where spreadsheets and email start breaking but in-house EHS teams don't make sense yet — multi-county residential developers, mid-market general contractors, and the QSPs who support them.

Built for the 2022 CGP.
Numeric effluent limits. NAL exceedance tracking. Risk Level 2/3 site workflow. SMARTS-native submission flow.

Founder, Slate Point

I'm building Slate Point in public, one conversation at a time. Before scaling anything, I'm sitting down with mid-market California builders to hear how their compliance teams actually work day-to-day.

If you're running active CGP sites and have 15 minutes to share how you handle SWPPPs, inspections, and SMARTS filings today, I'd love to talk. No pitch — I'm in research mode.

Whether or not Slate Point ends up being useful for your team, I'll leave you with a better map of where the 2022 CGP changes are biting hardest — and the compliance checklist I built for California GCs.
