SELF-INSPECTIONS ARE MANDATORY BUT OFTEN OVERLOOKED. LET US HANDLE YOUR INSPECTIONS TO PREVENT FINES
Inspections are performed for stormwater plans in order to provide state, local and federal regulatory agencies with a method to ensure that reviews are conducted in accordance with the plan. Inspections are inserted as appendices to a plan and are added weekly with corresponding plan updates.
As Certified Stormwater Inspectors, we ensure inspections are done correctly and we inform contractors of problems viewed at the site. We provide easy access to inspection report documents as evidentiary material to prevent fines or violations.
FACTS:
1. Did you know that inspections are rarely performed although they are the most effective way to eliminate fines?
2. The only way to prove compliance with a stormwater plan is through inspection reports.
3. Inspection reports can be requested from the contractor by EPA and DEQ after the project is completed and sometimes, years later. Archived inspection reports are rarely kept and a contractor can be fined several year later for everyday a previous project was active.
4. Similar businesses in your area can use the EPA or DEQ compliant system as a way to place a huge financial burden and embarrassment on a competing contracting firm. By not having inspections, a review by EPA or DEQ can result in fines allowing your competition to use it as negative information regarding future competitive bid proposals.
Are you performing weekly inspections as required for your project? Failure to do so could result in significant fines or other penalties.
