EPSC Inspections
An EPSC inspection is a thorough review of a construction project with the intent of documenting current site conditions as they pertain to compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and permits.
Some EPSC inspections typically cover only stormwater compliance. However, EPSC inspections for DOT construction projects cover compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and permits.
An EPSC inspection should accomplish the following goals:
- Review all active areas of the construction site (e.g., active outfalls, culvert/bridge construction, laydown yards, etc.).
- Determine whether the site conditions being observed are in or out of compliance with all applicable environmental regulations, permits, or departmental guidance documents.
- Identify any potential compliance issue with applicable environmental regulations or permits.
- Make the necessary recommendations needed to correct any compliance or potential compliance issue.
- Update project-specific documentation.
- Document all site observations or recommendations in a clear and concise manner.
Why do EPSC inspections?
EPSC inspections are a requirement of Tennessee’s General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Construction Activities, also called the “Construction General Permit” (CGP). Call us today to discuss your important project.
