The field of stormwater management has experienced exponential innovation over the last decade. Unlike the treatment technologies implemented to address point source pollution, non-point source pollution controls have no universally agreed upon maintenance protocols. Despite lack of universal maintenance protocols many states and municipalities have made regular inspection and maintenance of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) an ongoing legal requirement. The various maintenance tasks required for BMPs may serve to not only meet legal requirements, but also to ensure proper BMP function and to prevent flooding and negative impacts to adjacent infrastructure.
Engineers, landscape architects, land planners, stormwater professionals, asset managers, maintenance personnel, and government officials will find this guidance document a valuable resource in inspection and maintenance planning, as well as in the field.
