What information is NOT required in each compliance inspection report?

The accuracy of the compliance inspection report is critical for effective erosion prevention and sediment control. Essential information included in these reports typically consists of actionable and objective data related to the site being inspected.

Personal opinions of the inspector do not contribute to the factual documentation required for compliance reports and can introduce subjectivity that detracts from the overall assessment. The focus of these reports should be on specific locations of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that need maintenance, any locations where discharges of sediment or pollutants occur, and the corrective actions necessary to address any issues identified. These elements are vital in ensuring that the site adheres to environmental regulations and that appropriate measures can be taken to prevent further issues. Hence, personal opinions are not only unnecessary but can undermine the professional integrity of the inspection report.
