Changes

*More frequent Performance Verification inspections may be warranted for BMPs draining to highly sensitive receiving waters or habitat of species at risk. Testing of functional performance (e.g., surface infiltration rate testing, natural or simulated storm event testing, continuous monitoring) is done in addition to Maintenance Verification inspection indicators (i.e., visual indicators and sediment accumulation testing).

Feedback from inspections should be used to schedule repair or rehabilitation tasks, further investigations into observed problems with BMP function, or initiate compliance enforcement actions if warranted.

Inspection and maintenance pages are provided for each type of LID facility that provide further guidance on inspection tasks specific to the type of BMP, key components to be inspected during each type of inspection, what visual and testing indicators to use, and options regarding repair, rehabilitation and follow-up inspection tasks. Furthermore, blank template field data forms for recording inspection results are provided within each section as well to be downloaded and used for personal use.<br>
