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 Maintenance and Performance Verification inspections should be used to initiate compliance enforcement actions if warranted and schedule structural repairs or further investigations into observed problems with BMP function. Each LID BMP I&M page provides further guidance on inspection tasks specific to the type of LID facility, 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.
