Site Inspection and Compliance

• Conduct a preconstruction meeting with developer, engineer, and contractor(s)
• Establish guidance for compliance and set inspection requirements
• Review Best Management Practices (BMPs) immediately after installation
• Inspect the site regularly and after significant/intense storm events
• Develop a rapport with field contacts

Enforcement

• Establish thresholds for enforcement
• Establish criteria for withholding permits and inspections

Education

• Sponsor demonstration projects, field days, and seminars. View the Sediment-Log Photo Journal, a demonstration project testing the effectiveness of a new and innovative sedimentation control device.
  
• Provide design manuals and guidance
