Summary of Activities:
• Completion of foundation footings and walls.
• Athletic field area back filled and compacted.
• Domestic and fire service water lines installed along with site fire hydrant.
• Underground utilities in process of being installed in office area of building.
• Steel framing beginning to be delivered on site (observed on 5/31/24 site inspection).
Summary of Environmental Compliance:
• General maintenance is needed along silt fence in north eastern corner of the site. Fence has fallen over
and been punctured. While maintenance is needed,fence has remained keyed into soil thus remaining
effective at controlling potential erosion and sediment migration.
• No sediment migration or soil degradation observed outside of erosion control fence or downgradient of
soil/construction material stockpiles.
• Construction entrance and island cut through observed to be clean with no site materials tracked into
Terminal Road.
• No dewatering practices were present.
Forecast of Activities Next Month:
• Beginning of steel installation (approximate 8 weeks of construction)
• Installation of concrete floors
• Electrical and sewer utility installation

If the same routine maintenance was found to be necessary three or more times for the same control at the same location(including this occurrence),
follow the corrective action requirements and record the required information in your corrective action log, or describe here why you believe the specific
condition should still be addressed as routine maintenance:
Routine maintenance includes minor repairs or other upkeep performed to ensure that the site's stormwater controls remain in effective operating condition, not including
significant repairs or the need to install a new or replacement control. Routine maintenance is also required for specific conditions: (1) for perimeter controls,whenever sediment
has accumulated to half or more the above-ground height of the control (CGP Part 2.2.3.c.i); (2)where sediment has been tracked-out from the site onto paved roads,
sidewalks,or other paved areas (CGP Part 2.2.4.d); (3) for inlet protection measures,when sediment accumulates,the filter becomes clogged,and/or performance is
compromised (CGP Part 2.2.10.b):and (4)for sediment basins, as necessary to maintain at least half of the design capacity of the basin (CGP Part 2.2.12.f)
2 Corrective actions are triggered only for specific conditions (CGP Part 5.1):
1.A stormwater control needs a significant repair or a new or replacement control is needed,or,in accordance with Part 2.1.4.c,you find it necessary to repeatedly(i.e.,three
(3) or more times) conduct the same routine maintenance fix to the same control at the same location (unless you document in your inspection report under Part 4.7.1.c that
the specific reoccurrence of this same problem should still be addressed as a routine maintenance fix under 2.1.4); or
2.A stormwater control necessary to comply with the requirements of this permit was never installed,or was installed incorrectly;or
3.Your discharges are not meeting applicable water quality standards;or
4. A prohibited discharge has occurred (see CGP Part 1.3);or
5. During the discharge from site dewatering activities:
a.The weekly average of your turbidity monitoring results exceeds the 50 NTU benchmark(or alternate benchmark if approved by EPA pursuant to Part 3.3.2.1o);or
b.You observe or you are informed by EPA,State,or local authorities of the presence of the conditions specified in Port 4.6.3.e.
3If a condition on your site requires a corrective action,you must also fill out a corrective action log found at htfps://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-

General Tips for Using This Template
This Site Inspection Report Template is provided to assist you in preparing site inspection reports for EPA's 2022 Construction General Permit (CGP). If you are
covered under the 2022 CGP,you can use this template to create a site inspection report form that is customized to the specific circumstances of your site
and that complies with the minimum reporting requirements of Part 4.7 of the permit. Note that the use of this form is optional;you may use your own site
inspection report form provided it includes the minimum information required in Part 4.7 of the CGP.
This template does not address the CGP's inspection reporting requirements related to dewatering activities.A separate inspection template has been
developed specifically for dewatering activities and is available at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-tools-and-templates.
Keep in mind that this document is a template and not an "off-the-shelf" inspection report that is ready to use without some modification.You must first
customize this form to include the specifics of your project in order for it to be useable for your inspection reports. Once you have entered all of your site-
specific information into the blank fields,you may use this form to complete inspection reports.
The following tips for using this template will help you ensure that the minimum permit requirements are met:
• Review the inspection requirements. Before you start developing your inspection report form, read the CGP's Part 4 inspection requirements.This will
ensure that you have a working understanding of the permit's underlying inspection requirements.
• Complete all required blank fields. Fill out all blank fields. Only by filling out all fields will the template be compliant with the requirements of the permit.
(Note: Where you do not need the number of rows provided in the template form for your inspection, you may delete these or cross them off as you see
fit. Or, if you need more space to document your findings, you may insert additional rows in the electronic version of this form or use the bottom of the
page in the field version of this form.)
• Use your site map to document inspection findings. In several places in the template,you are directed to specify the location of certain features of your
site, including where stormwater controls are installed and where you will be stabilizing exposed soil.You are also asked to fill in location information for
unsafe conditions and the locations of any discharges occurring during your inspections. Where you are asked for location information, EPA encourages
you to reference the point on your SWPPP site map that corresponds to the requested location on the inspection form. Using the site map as a tool in this
way will help you conduct efficient inspections,will assist you in evaluating problems found, and will ensure proper documentation.
• Complete the inspection report within 24 hours of completing a site inspection.You must complete an inspection report in accordance with Part 4.7.1 of
the CGP.
• Include the inspection form with your SWPPP. Once your form is complete, make sure to include a copy of the inspection form in your SWPPP in
accordance with Part 7.2.7.e of the CGP.
• Retain copies of all inspection reports with your records.You must also retain in your records copies of all inspection reports in accordance with the
requirements in Part 4.7.3 of the CGP.These reports must be retained for at least 3 years from the date your permit coverage expires or is terminated in
accordance with the requirements in Part 4.7.4 of the CGP.
Instructions for Section A
Inspector Name
Enter the name of the person that conducted the inspection. Include the person's contact information (title, affiliated company name, address, email,
and phone number).
Inspection Date and Time
Enter the date you performed the inspection and the time you started and ended the inspection.
Weather Conditions During Inspection
Enter the weather conditions occurring during the inspection, e.g.,sunny, overcast, light rain, heavy rain, snowing, icy,windy.
Current Phase of Construction
If this project is being completed in more than one phase, indicate which phase it is currently in.
Inspection Location
If your project has multiple locations where you conduct separate inspections,specify the location where this inspection is being conducted. If only one
inspection is conducted for your entire project,enter"Entire Site." If necessary,complete additional inspection report forms for each separate inspection
location.
Unsafe Conditions for Inspection (CGP Part 4.5.7)
Inspections are not required where a portion of the site or the entire site is subject to unsafe conditions. These conditions should not regularly occur and
should not be consistently present on a site. Generally, unsafe conditions are those that render the site (or a portion of it) inaccessible or that would pose a
significant probability of injury to applicable personnel. Examples could include severe storm or flood conditions, high winds, and downed electrical wires.
If your site, or a portion of it,is affected by unsafe conditions during the time of your inspection, provide a description of the conditions that prevented you
from conducting the inspection and what parts of the site were affected. If the entire site was considered unsafe,specify the location as "Entire Site."
Inspection Frequency
Check all the inspection frequencies that apply to your project. Note that you may be subject to different inspection frequencies in different areas of your
site.
Inspection Triggered by a Storm Event
If you were required to conduct this inspection because of a storm event that produced 0.25 inches or more of rain within a 24-hour period, indicate whether
you relied on an on-site rain gauge or a nearby weather station (and where the weather station is located).Also, specify the total amount of rainfall for this
specific storm event.
If you were required to conduct this inspection because of a snowmelt discharge from a storm event that produced 3.25 inches or more of snow within a 24-
hour period, then indicate whether you relied on an on-site measurement or a nearby weather station (and where the weather station is located).Also,
specify the total amount of snowfall for this specific storm event.
Instructions for Section B
Type and Location of Erosion and Sediment(E&S)Controls
Provide a list of all erosion and sediment (E&S) controls that your SWPPP indicates will be installed and implemented at your site.This list must include at a
minimum all E&S controls required by CGP Part 2.2. Include also any natural buffers established under CGP Part 2.2.1. Buffer requirements apply if your
project's earth-disturbing activities will occur within 50 feet of a discharge to receiving water. You may group your E&S controls on your form if you have
several of the same type of controls (e.g.,you may group "Inlet Protection Measures," "Perimeter Controls," and "Stockpile Controls" together on one line),
but if there are any problems with a specific control,you must separately identify the location of the control,whether routine maintenance or corrective
action is necessary, and in the notes section you must describe the specifics about the problem you observed.
Conditions Requiring Routine Maintenance?
Answer"Yes" if the E&S control requires routine maintenance as defined in footnote 1 of this template. Note that in many cases, "Yes" answers are expected
and indicate a project with an active operation and maintenance program.You should also answer"Yes" if work to fix the problem is still ongoing from the
previous inspection,though necessary work must be initiated immediately and completed by the end of the next business day or within seven calendar days
if documented in accordance with CGP Part 2.1.4.b.
If"Yes," How Many Times(Including this Occurrence) Has this Condition Been Identified?
Indicate how many times the routine maintenance has been required for the some control at the some location.
Conditions Requiring Corrective Action?
Answer"Yes" if you found any of the conditions listed in footnote 2 in this template to be present during your inspection (CGP Part 5.1). If you answer"Yes,"
you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log,found at https://www.epa,gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-tools-
and-templates.You should also answer"Yes" if work to fix the problem from a previous inspection is still ongoing, though the operator must comply with the
corrective action deadlines in CGP Part 5.2.
Date on Which Condition First Observed (If Applicable)?
Provide the date on which the condition that triggered the need for routine maintenance or corrective action was first identified. If the condition was just
discovered during this inspection,enter the inspection date. If the condition is a carryover from a previous inspection, enter the original date of the
condition's discovery.
Description of Conditions Observed
For each E&S control and the area immediately surrounding it, describe whether the control is properly installed and whether it appears to be working to
minimize sediment discharge. Indicate also whether a new or modified control is necessary to comply with the permit. Describe any problem condition(s)
you observed such as the following:
1.Failure to install or to properly install a required E&S control
2.Damage or destruction to an E&S control caused by vehicles,equipment, or personnel, a storm event, or other event
3.Mud or sediment deposits found downslope from E&S controls, including in receiving waters, or on nearby streets, curbs, or open conveyance channels
4.Sediment tracked out onto paved areas by vehicles leaving construction site
5.Noticeable erosion or sedimentation at discharge outlets or at adjacent streambanks or channels
b.Erosion of the site's sloped areas (e.g.,formation of rills or gullies)
7.E&S control is no longer working due to lack of maintenance
8.Other incidents of noncompliance
Describe also why you think the problem condition(s) occurred as well as actions (e.g., routine maintenance or corrective action) you will take or have taken
to fix the problem.
For buffer areas, make note of whether they are marked off as required,whether there are signs of construction disturbance within the buffer,which is
prohibited under the CGP, and whether there are visible signs of erosion resulting from discharges through the area.
If routine maintenance or corrective action is required, briefly note the reason. If routine maintenance or corrective action has been completed, make a
note of the date it was completed and what was done. If corrective action is required, note that you will need to complete a separate corrective action log
describing the condition and your work to fix the problem.
Routine Maintenance Need Has Been Found to be Necessary Three(3)or More Times for the Same Control at the Same Location(Including this Occurrence)
If routine maintenance has been required three (3) or more times for the same control at the same location, the permit requires (CGP Part 2.1.4.c) you to fix
the problem using the corrective action procedures in CGP Part 5 or to document why you believe the reoccurring problem can be addressed as a routine
maintenance fix. If you believe the problem can continue to be fixed as routine maintenance, describe why you believe the specific condition should still be
addressed as routine maintenance.
Instructions for Section C
Type and Location of Pollution Prevention(P2) Practices and Controls
Provide a list of all pollution prevention (P2) practices and controls that are implemented at your site.This list must include all P2 practices and controls
required by CGP Part 2.3 and those that are described in your SWPPP.
Conditions Requiring Routine Maintenance?
Answer"Yes" if the P2 practice or control requires routine maintenance as defined in footnote 1 of this template. Note that in many cases, "Yes" answers are
expected and indicate a project with an active operation and maintenance program. You should also answer"Yes" if work to fix the problem is still ongoing
from the previous inspection, though necessary work must be initiated immediately and completed by the end of the next business day or within seven
calendar days if documented in accordance with CGP Part 2.1.4.1b.
If"Yes," How Many Times(Including this Occurrence) Has this Condition Been Identified?
Indicate how many times the routine maintenance has been required for the same practice or control at the same location.
Conditions Requiring Corrective Action?
Answer"Yes" if you found any of the conditions listed in footnote 2 in this template to be present during your inspection (CGP Part 5.1). If you answer"Yes,"
you must take corrective action and complete a corrective action log,found at https://www.epa.gov/npdes/construction-general-permit-resources-tools-
and-templates.You should also answer"Yes" if work to fix the problem from a previous inspection is still ongoing, though the operator must comply with the
corrective action deadlines in CGP Part 5.2.
Date on Which Condition First Observed (If Applicable)?
Provide the date on which the condition that triggered the need for maintenance or corrective action was first identified. If the condition was just
discovered during this inspection,enter the inspection date. If the condition is a carryover from a previous inspection, enter the original date of the
condition's discovery.
Description of Conditions Observed
For each P2 control and the area immediately surrounding it, describe whether the control is properly installed, and whether it appears to be working to
minimize or eliminate pollutant discharges. Indicate also whether a new or modified control is necessary to comply with the permit. Describe any problem
condition(s) you observed such as the following:
1.Failure to install or to properly install a required P2 control
2.Damage or destruction to a P2 control caused by vehicles, equipment, or personnel, or a storm event
3.Evidence of a spill, leak, or other type of pollutant discharge, or failure to have properly cleaned up a previous spill, leak, or other type of pollutant
discharge
4.Spill response supplies are absent, insufficient, or not where they are supposed to be located
5.Improper storage, handling,or disposal of chemicals, building materials or products,fuels, or wastes
b.P2 control is no longer working due to lack of maintenance
7.Other incidents of noncompliance
Describe also why you think the problem condition(s) occurred as well as actions (e.g., routine maintenance or corrective action) you will take or have taken
to fix the problem.
If routine maintenance or corrective action is required, briefly note the reason. If routine maintenance or corrective action has been completed, make a
note of the date it was completed and what was done. If corrective action is required, note that you will need to complete a separate corrective action log
describing the condition and your work to fix the problem.
Routine Maintenance Need Was Found to be Necessary Three(3)or More Times for the Same Control at the Same Location(Including this Occurrence)
If routine maintenance has been required three (3) or more times for the same control at the some location, the permit requires (CGP Part 2.1.4.c) you to fix
the problem using the corrective action procedures in CGP Part 5 or to document why you believe the reoccurring problem can be addressed as a routine
maintenance fix. If you believe the problem can continue to be fixed as routine maintenance, describe why you believe the specific condition should still be
addressed as routine maintenance.
Instructions for Section D
Specific Location That Has Been or Will Be Stabilized
List all areas where soil stabilization is required to begin because construction work in that area has permanently stopped or temporarily stopped (i.e.,work
will stop for 14 or more days), and all areas where stabilization has been implemented (CGP Part 2.2.14).
Stabilization Method and Applicable Deadline
For each area, specify the method of stabilization (e.g., hydroseed,sod, planted vegetation,erosion control blanket, mulch, rock).
Specify also which of the following stabilization deadlines apply to this location:
1.5 acres or less of land disturbance occurring at any one time at site: Complete no later than 14 calendar days after stabilization initiated.
2.More than 5 acres of land disturbance occurring at any one time at site: Complete no later than 7 calendar days after stabilization initiated.
3.Arid, semi-arid, and drought-stricken areas: See CGP Part 2.2.14.1b.i.
4.Unforeseen circumstances:See CGP Part 2.2.14.1b.ii.
5.Discharges to a sediment-or nutrient-impaired water or to a water identified as Tier 2, 2.5, or 3 for antidegradation purposes: Complete no later than 7
days after stabilization initiated.
Stabilization Initiated?
For each area,indicate whether stabilization has been initiated. If "Yes," then enter the date stabilization was initiated.
Final Stabilization Criteria Met?
For each area, indicate whether the final stabilization criteria in CGP Part 2.2.14.c have been met. If"Yes," then enter the date final stabilization criteria were
met.
Final Stabilization Photos Taken?
Answer"Yes" if you have taken photos before and after meeting the stabilization criteria as required in CGP Part 8.2.1.a.
Notes
For each area where stabilization has been initiated, describe the progress that has been made and what additional actions are necessary to complete
stabilization. Note the effectiveness of stabilization in preventing erosion. If stabilization has been initiated but not completed, make a note of the date it is to
be completed. If stabilization has been completed, make a note of the date it was completed. If stabilization has not yet been initiated, make a note of the
date it is to be initiated and the date it is to be completed.
Instructions for Section E
You are only required to complete this section if a discharge is occurring at the time of the inspection (CGP Part 4.6.2).
Was a discharge(not including dewatering) occurring from any part of your site at the time of the inspection?
During your inspection, examine all points of discharge from your site, and determine whether a discharge is occurring. If a dewatering discharge was
occurring, you must conduct a dewatering inspection pursuant to CGP Part 4.3.2. If there is a discharge, answer"Yes" and complete the questions below
regarding the specific discharge. If there is not a discharge, answer"No" and skip to the next page.
Discharge Location (Repeat as necessary if there are multiple points of discharge.)
Specify the location on your site where the discharge is occurring.The location may be an outlet from a stormwater control or constructed stormwater
channel, a discharge into a storm sewer inlet, or a specific point on the site. Be as specific as possible; it is recommended that you refer to a precise point on
your site map.
Observations
Document the visual quality of the discharge and take note of the characteristics of the stormwater discharge,including color; odor;floating,settled, or
suspended solids;foam; oily sheen; and other indicators of stormwater pollutants. Also, document signs of these some pollutant characteristics that are visible
from your site and attributable to your discharge in receiving waters or in other constructed or natural site drainage features.

Note
While EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of all instructions contained in this template, it is the permit, not this template,that determines the
actual obligations of regulated construction stormwater discharges. In the event of a conflict between this template and any corresponding provision of the
CGP, you must abide by the requirements in the permit. EPA welcomes comments on this Site Inspection Report Template at any time and will consider those
comments in any future revision.You may contact EPA for CGP-related inquiries at cap@epa.gov
