Pond Pro provides construction-phase stormwater inspections supporting project SWPPPs, erosion and sediment controls, BMP implementation, and inspection documentation across South Carolina.
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is not just a plan-set requirement. It has to be implemented, maintained, inspected, and documented throughout construction.
Pond Pro is led by Grayson Vazquez, PE, a South Carolina-licensed Professional Engineer with experience in grading, drainage, pond systems, engineering, and construction.
This allows Pond Pro to approach construction stormwater inspections with both field practicality and an engineering understanding of how the site is intended to function.
South Carolina’s current Construction General Permit sets project-specific requirements for SWPPP implementation, inspection frequency, and inspector qualifications. Local MS4 requirements may add additional obligations.
Under the 2026 South Carolina Construction General Permit, active projects disturbing more than 2 acres are generally subject to inspection at least once each calendar week, with no more than 9 days between inspections.
The permit establishes qualification criteria for inspectors on larger projects. The applicable criteria depend on the project, permit, SWPPP preparer, and inspector’s professional registration or approved certification.
The on-site SWPPP commonly includes inspection, rainfall, maintenance, corrective-action, and project records used to demonstrate ongoing implementation of the approved stormwater plan.
Scope note: Construction stormwater requirements vary by project size, permit coverage, local MS4 jurisdiction, approved plans, and current permit conditions. Pond Pro confirms the inspection scope before accepting compliance-related work. This page is general information and is not legal advice.
The exact checklist depends on the project documents and permit. Typical observations include disturbed areas, material storage exposed to precipitation, stormwater conveyances, erosion and sediment BMPs, discharge locations, stabilized entrances, evidence of off-site sediment tracking, and maintenance or corrective-action needs.
Frequency depends on the applicable permit and project. For projects disturbing more than 2 acres under South Carolina’s 2026 Construction General Permit, inspections are generally required at least once per calendar week with no more than 9 days between inspections. Smaller projects and local jurisdictions can have different requirements.
Yes. Pond Pro provides both construction-phase SWPPP inspections and post-construction pond/BMP inspections, including recurring annual inspection support where applicable.
Send the project location, acreage, permit information, and any current SWPPP or inspection form. Pond Pro can confirm the appropriate inspection scope.
