BMP Construction Inspections & Certifications

Planning for Long-Term Stormwater System Compliance and Performance

BMP construction inspections & certifications are vital for maintaining the functionality and compliance of stormwater systems. Our services provide detailed inspections to verify that BMPs are constructed as designed and are functioning as intended. Certifications offer assurance to regulatory agencies that all requirements have been met.

BMP Construction Inspections & Certifications

Benefits

Verify BMP Functionality and Compliance

Thorough inspections confirm that installed BMPs meet design specifications and regulatory standards, ensuring effective stormwater management.

Maintain System Performance Over Time

Regular inspections and certifications identify maintenance needs and ensure BMPs continue to perform efficiently.

Streamline Regulatory Approvals

Certifications provide the documentation required to satisfy stormwater management requirements.

What to Expect

The BMP construction inspection and certification process ensures compliance and system performance. Here’s what to expect:

* Every project is unique! Exact steps and services will vary.

1. Construction Observation

We observe BMP installation in the field to verify that materials, dimensions, and locations match approved plans and specifications. Our inspections help catch issues early and support smooth project delivery.


2. Plan Conformance & Field Verification

Throughout construction and after installation, we check that all BMP elements—from grading and structures to vegetation and flow paths—align with design intent and meet regulatory requirements.


3. Performance Evaluation

Once BMPs are in place, we assess functionality over time—inspecting for sediment buildup, healthy vegetation, standing water, and other performance indicators.


4. Maintenance Recommendations

Whether during or after construction, our reports include practical guidance for corrective actions or routine maintenance to keep BMPs functioning as intended.


5. Documentation & Certification

We compile thorough documentation, including photos, field notes, and as-built verification, to support certification of compliance with local and state stormwater regulations.


6. Regulatory Coordination

Our team communicates directly with regulatory agencies, addressing inspection findings and facilitating approvals, sign-offs, and long-term compliance.
