Introduction to Green Infrastructure Inspections

Green Infrastructure Inspections can be used to streamline inspections on private and public land ensuring stormwater runoff is being managed effectively.

Green infrastructure inspections are essential activities for stormwater organizations.  For a stormwater system to function properly, both gray and green infrastructure components have to work as intended. To ensure green infrastructure functions correctly it must be regularly inspected. While green infrastructure is based on nature, it may need occasional maintenance or repair.

Green infrastructure can be found on both public and private land, which means the responsible party for maintenance may not be the stormwater organization. Stormwater organizations need to digitally record inspections conducted by their own organization and collect and retain the inspection and maintenance records of BMPs (Best Management Practice) on private lands. Streamlining the assignment of inspection activities and improving inspection program management supports program compliance and reporting efforts.

The Green Infrastructure Inspections solution delivers a set of capabilities that help stormwater managers assign inspections, record inspections in the field, monitor inspection activities, and manage private green infrastructure maintenance activities.
