What should inspectors be on the lookout for when reviewing the approved plan?

Inspectors reviewing the approved plan should primarily focus on potential violations because identifying these issues is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulations and protecting the environment from harmful impacts. Potential violations may arise if the construction activities deviate from the approved plans or if best management practices are not followed. The inspector’s role is to assess whether the project is being executed in accordance with the established guidelines, ensuring that stormwater management systems operate effectively and that erosion and sedimentation controls are in place.

By identifying potential violations early, inspectors can intervene to correct issues before they escalate, preventing environmental damage and non-compliance penalties. This vigilance helps maintain the integrity of the stormwater management systems, safeguarding water quality in local ecosystems and adhering to state and federal standards.
