Inspection Details and Site Conditions

Perimeter Controls and Site Stabilization

Verify silt fence, wattles, berms, or other perimeter BMPs are present where runoff could leave the disturbed area.
Check for tears, undercutting, overtopping, bypass flow, collapsed posts, or gaps at joints and ends.
Measure or estimate sediment buildup and verify it has not reached a level that reduces BMP effectiveness.
Check for temporary or permanent stabilization such as mulch, seed, erosion control blanket, or paving.
Verify stockpiles are covered, bermed, or otherwise protected and not discharging sediment.
Check entrances, exits, and adjacent pavement for tracked sediment and verify cleanup is in progress if needed.

Inlet Protection and Conveyance Controls

Verify inlet protection is present at curb, drop, and yard inlets receiving runoff from disturbed areas.
Check for undercutting, displacement, clogging, overtopping, or flow around the control.
Confirm accumulated sediment, trash, and debris do not reduce intake capacity or create flooding risk.
Inspect for erosion, scour, undermining, or sediment deposition that could alter flow paths or discharge quality.
If active dewatering is present, verify discharge is routed through approved filtration or sediment control measures.

Sediment Basins and Temporary Controls

Verify basin dimensions, embankment condition, outlet structure, and emergency spillway appear consistent with the approved plan.
Confirm the basin is not overtopping and freeboard is maintained above the sediment storage and design water level.
Estimate or measure sediment depth and verify cleanout is scheduled before storage capacity is compromised.
Check skimmers, risers, pipes, trash racks, and spillways for blockage, damage, or bypass conditions.
Inspect embankments, side slopes, and downstream areas for sloughing, seepage, piping, or rills.

Housekeeping, Spill Prevention, and Corrective Actions

Verify litter, packaging, and debris are not exposed to runoff or entering stormwater conveyances.
Check fuel, chemicals, concrete washout, and material storage areas for secondary containment and cover where required.
Record each non-conformance, responsible party, due date, and interim control needed to prevent discharge.
Confirm immediate repairs or assign follow-up actions for any failed BMPs, including reinspection timing.
Indicate whether a reinspection is needed after corrective actions are completed.
