Construction site inspection
To download the Site Inspection Checklist, please click here.
The MPCA developed the above site inspection checklist to assist you with meeting the requirements of the MPCA’s MS4 Permit. The MS4 Permit requires your regulatory mechanism to be as stringent as the MPCA’s Construction Stormwater Permit for erosion, sediment, and waste controls. In addition, the MS4 Permit requires your written procedure for conducting site inspections to include a checklist or other written means to document each site inspection (MS4 Permit Part III.D.4.d.(4) and Part III.D.4.f.(2)). You must retain these documents for three years beyond the term of the MS4 Permit (MS4 Permit Part IV.C.).
This Excel workbook was developed to simplify the Construction Stormwater Permit requirements for erosion, sediment, and waste controls into a checklist format for inspectors to use. The original Construction Stormwater Permit language is included on the "MPCA Permit Requirements" worksheet for your reference.
The "Checklist" worksheet is provided as guidance only. You may add more fields for your internal use. You may also use any other form or method to document construction site inspections.
