Date
Inspection is required under Section 4.6.E of the Phase II Stormwater MS4 permit, which states that the permittee shall maintain and apply
maintenance procedures, maintenance schedules, and long-term inspection schedules for controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants to
the permittee’s regulated MS4. A comprehensive inspection utilizing this checklist is to be performed on an annual basis by a qualified person.
Additionally, it is recommended that condensed, regular inspections be conducted by site staff on a more frequent basis.
Inspection must cover entire facility and operations to identify any conditions or operations that could result in pollutants being introduced to
storm water flows into the MSD separate storm sewer system. Review all s ources listed in the permittee’s O&M program document according to
the listed BMPs to ensure implementation. Discuss findings with staff and communicate to employees. If “Yes” checked, BMP i s implemented.
If “No” checked, comment to describe finding and recommendation.
