What should be noted when installing perimeter BMP controls?

When installing perimeter Best Management Practices (BMP) controls, it is crucial to note the locations and dates of installation. This information is essential for several reasons. First, it allows for proper tracking of when and where these controls have been implemented, which is important for both compliance and assessment purposes. Recording the locations helps ensure that the BMPs are strategically placed to effectively prevent stormwater pollution, while noting the installation dates supports monitoring for maintenance needs and effectiveness over time.

Having accurate records of the installation date is also vital for scheduling inspections and determining if the controls are functioning as intended and if any repairs or enhancements are necessary. This practice ensures that BMPs are not only in place but are also managed proactively, helping maintain environmental standards and regulatory compliance in stormwater management efforts.
