Construction inspections take place during several points in the construction sequence, specific to the type of LID BMP, but at a minimum should be done '''weekly''' and include the following:
Construction inspections take place during several points in the construction sequence, specific to the type of LID BMP, but at a minimum should be done '''weekly''' and include the following:
# During site preparation, prior to BMP excavation and grading to ensure the CDA is stabilized and/or flow diversion devices are in place and confirm that construction materials meet design specifications
# During site preparation, prior to BMP excavation and grading to ensure the CDA is stabilized and/or flow diversion devices are in place and confirm that construction materials meet design specifications
# After every large storm event (e.g., 15 mm rainfall depth or greater) to ensure flow diversion devices are functioning and adequately maintained. View the table below, which describes critical points during the construction sequence when inspections should be performed prior to proceeding further. You can also download and print the table [https://wikidev.sustainabletechnologies.ca/images/9/9f/LID-IM-Guide-7.4-Permeable-Pavements.pdf '''here''']<br>
