#'''Public Approach''': Municipality is responsible for performing or tracking inspection, maintenance and repair/rehabilitation of all BMPs that qualify for inclusion in their stormwater infrastructure program, whether located on public or private land (e.g., could include those implemented as part of a stormwater utility fee credit program or CSO abatement plan). See this approach currently being implemented in Mississauga under their [https://www.mississauga.ca/services-and-programs/home-and-yard/stormwater/stormwater-charge/stormwater-credit-for-non-residential-and-multi-residential-properties/ Stormwater Charge which included a Stormwater Credit program] for ICI and MUR properties within their jurisdiction. This charge program lists [https://www.mississauga.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/17144148/Stormwater-Credit-Review-Report-2021.pdf eligible LID BMPs] to be considered for for meeting the stormwater credit requirements for peak flow reduction, runoff volume reduction and/or quality control (City of Mississauga, 2022)<ref>City of Mississauga. 2022.

#'''Hybrid Approach''': A hybrid approach consisting of both public and private entities responsible for various inspection, maintenance and repair tasks. An example of this approach currently being used is in Victoria, B.C. through their [https://www.victoria.ca/EN/main/residents/water-sewer-stormwater/stormwater/rainwater_rewards_program.html Rainwater rewards Program], which helps offset the cost for private property owners to implement one of their recognized LID BMPs. If homeowners are already managing rainwater on their properties they are eligible for further discounts (City of Victoria, 2022.)<ref name="example1" />

|+'''The 3 Approaches to Assigning Responsibilities for BMP Management & Repair'''
|-
!<br>'''Typical Program Characteristics'''
!<br>'''Strengths / Weaknesses'''
|-
|colspan="2" style="background: #CEF2E0; color: black; text-align: center;" | '''Property Owner Approach'''
|-
|
*Property owner responsible for all inspection and maintenance tasks
*Property owner responsible for maintaining an inventory of all BMPs they own and record keeping related to inspection, maintenance and repair, including results from periodic inspections to verify performance
*Municipality responsible for educating property owners about the BMP and inspection and maintenance needs
*Municipality responsible for legal tools to require/enforce maintenance for regulated BMPs on private property
|
'''Strengths:'''
*Least costly approach for municipalities<br>
</br>
'''Weaknesses:'''
*Highest potential for non-compliance
|-
|colspan="2" style="background: #CEF2E0; color: black; text-align: center;" | '''Public Approach'''
|-
|
*Municipality responsible for inspection and maintenance tasks for all regulated BMPs and any others that qualify for inclusion in their program (e.g., part of a stormwater utility fee credit program or CSO abatement plan)
*BMPs required to meet regulatory requirements should only be located on public property or in rights-of-way
*Municipality responsible for maintaining an inventory of all BMPs that qualify for inclusion in their program and record keeping related to inspection, maintenance and repair, including results from periodic inspections to verify maintenance and performance
|
'''Strengths:'''
*Municipality has the most control over maintenance practices and schedules
*Compliance enforcement issues are minimized <br>
</br>
'''Weaknesses:'''
*Most costly approach for municipalities
|-
|colspan="2" style="background: #CEF2E0; color: black; text-align: center;"|'''Hybrid Approach'''
|-
|
*Municipality inspects and maintains BMPs on public land, and within rights-of-way or easements on private property
*Property owner responsible for performing some inspection and maintenance tasks and record keeping
*Municipality responsible for an inventory of all BMPs that qualify for inclusion in their program, and periodic inspections to verify maintenance and performance
*Municipality responsible for educating property owner about the BMP and inspection and maintenance needs
*Municipality responsible for legal tools to require/enforce maintenance of regulated BMPs on private property
|
'''Strengths:'''
*Maximum flexibility
*Useful during transition from property owner to public approaches as programs mature <br>
</br>
'''Weaknesses:'''
*Potential for noncompliance if roles & responsibilities are not made clear to all parties at the beginning and at regular intervals throughout the lifetime of the program
