Service 01Permanent Facility Inspections
When construction ends, the stormwater obligations don't. Detention ponds, water quality vaults, rain gardens, and other permanent control measures come with ongoing inspection requirements, set by your O&M manual and your local jurisdiction's post-construction program, whether that's a city, a county, or an MS4 permit. Miss them, and the first time you find out is usually an enforcement letter.
We perform scheduled inspections of permanent stormwater facilities: annual compliance inspections, post-storm checks, and pre-sale or turnover condition assessments. Every inspection is documented with photos, condition ratings, and a clear list of what needs attention, signed by a licensed Professional Engineer and formatted for submittal to your local jurisdiction.
- Annual PCM inspections per your O&M manual and local requirements
- Condition documentation with photos and ratings your board can act on
- Maintenance and repair recommendations, prioritized by urgency and cost
- Inspection reports formatted for submittal to your jurisdiction, city, county, or MS4
- PE review and signature
- Multi-facility portfolio scheduling for districts and management companies
Inspection costs depend on the number and type of facilities and travel distance. Portfolio pricing is available for management firms overseeing multiple districts or communities. Contact us for a quote.
Service 02O&M Plan Compliance & Facility Oversight
Somewhere in your closing documents is an operations and maintenance agreement that tells your local jurisdiction exactly how your stormwater facilities will be inspected and maintained, and it's binding whether or not anyone on your current board has read it. We help owners figure out what they actually agreed to and build a realistic program around it.
- O&M manual and maintenance agreement review: what's required, how often, and by whom
- Facility inventory: identifying what you own, where it is, and what condition it's in
- Maintenance planning and scheduling built around your actual obligations
- Repair scoping and contractor coordination when deficiencies turn up
- Recordkeeping that stands up to a jurisdiction or MS4 audit
- Budget and reserve input so maintenance costs stop being surprises
This is the service for boards and managers who inherited facilities at developer turnover and were handed a binder, or nothing at all.
Service 03Permit Closeout & Facility Turnover
The handoff from construction to long-term ownership is where stormwater compliance most often falls apart. The construction permit terminates, the developer moves on, and the district or association is left holding permanent facilities with no records, no baseline condition, and an O&M obligation nobody explained.
We manage that transition: verifying facilities were built and stabilized as approved, assembling the records the new owner needs, and filing the paperwork that formally closes the construction phase.
- Pre-turnover facility condition assessments, so you know what you're accepting
- Final stabilization verification and Notice of Termination (NOT) filing
- Record assembly: as-builts, O&M manuals, maintenance agreements, inspection history
- Punch lists for deficiencies the developer should fix before turnover, not you after
Service 04MS4 Compliance Support
Small and mid-sized municipalities along the Front Range face the same MS4 permit requirements as larger cities, but with a fraction of the staff and budget. We help bridge that gap, with particular depth in the post-construction program, the control measure most small MS4s struggle to document.
- Gap analysis of your current compliance program
- Post-construction facility tracking, inspection, and enforcement program support
- Illicit discharge program support
- Storm sewer mapping and outfall screening
- Annual report preparation and submittal
- Ordinance development and technical standards support
We tailor the scope to your municipality's needs and budget. Some communities need full program management. Others just need help with facility inspections and annual reporting. We'll work with you to figure out what makes sense.
