Run Stormwater BMP Inspection — Free

Inspection Details and Site Conditions

Inspection date and time recorded critical (required)

Inspector identified as qualified competent person critical (required)

Yes No N/A

Recent rainfall or triggering event documented

Weather and site conditions noted

Active construction areas identified

Perimeter Controls and Site Stabilization

Perimeter controls installed in required locations critical (required)

Verify silt fence, wattles, berms, or other perimeter BMPs are present where runoff could leave the disturbed area.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Perimeter controls are intact and functioning critical (required)

Check for tears, undercutting, overtopping, bypass flow, collapsed posts, or gaps at joints and ends.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Sediment accumulation at perimeter controls is within allowable limits critical (required)

Measure or estimate sediment buildup and verify it has not reached a level that reduces BMP effectiveness.

Photo evidence (optional)

Disturbed soil areas are stabilized or scheduled for stabilization

Check for temporary or permanent stabilization such as mulch, seed, erosion control blanket, or paving.

Yes No N/A

Stockpiles are protected from runoff and erosion

Verify stockpiles are covered, bermed, or otherwise protected and not discharging sediment.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Evidence of off-site sediment tracking is controlled

Check entrances, exits, and adjacent pavement for tracked sediment and verify cleanup is in progress if needed.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Inlet Protection and Conveyance Controls

Storm drain inlet protection installed where required critical (required)

Verify inlet protection is present at curb, drop, and yard inlets receiving runoff from disturbed areas.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Inlet protection is secure and not bypassed by runoff critical (required)

Check for undercutting, displacement, clogging, overtopping, or flow around the control.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Inlet protection is free of excessive sediment and debris

Confirm accumulated sediment, trash, and debris do not reduce intake capacity or create flooding risk.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Conveyance channels, swales, and ditches are stable

Inspect for erosion, scour, undermining, or sediment deposition that could alter flow paths or discharge quality.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Dewatering or pumped discharge is controlled and filtered critical (required)

If active dewatering is present, verify discharge is routed through approved filtration or sediment control measures.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Sediment Basins and Temporary Controls

Sediment basin is constructed per SWPPP design critical (required)

Verify basin dimensions, embankment condition, outlet structure, and emergency spillway appear consistent with the approved plan.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Sediment basin water level and freeboard are acceptable critical (required)

Confirm the basin is not overtopping and freeboard is maintained above the sediment storage and design water level.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Sediment accumulation in basin is within maintenance threshold critical (required)

Estimate or measure sediment depth and verify cleanout is scheduled before storage capacity is compromised.

Photo evidence (optional)

Outlet structure and overflow controls are unobstructed critical (required)

Check skimmers, risers, pipes, trash racks, and spillways for blockage, damage, or bypass conditions.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Evidence of erosion or embankment instability is absent critical (required)

Inspect embankments, side slopes, and downstream areas for sloughing, seepage, piping, or rills.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Housekeeping, Spill Prevention, and Corrective Actions

Waste, trash, and construction debris are contained

Verify litter, packaging, and debris are not exposed to runoff or entering stormwater conveyances.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Potential pollutant sources are protected from stormwater contact critical (required)

Check fuel, chemicals, concrete washout, and material storage areas for secondary containment and cover where required.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Observed deficiencies documented with corrective actions critical (required)

Record each non-conformance, responsible party, due date, and interim control needed to prevent discharge.

Corrective actions completed or assigned with deadline critical (required)

Confirm immediate repairs or assign follow-up actions for any failed BMPs, including reinspection timing.

Follow-up inspection required

Indicate whether a reinspection is needed after corrective actions are completed.
