Use Stormwater Construction Activity Management

The Stormwater Construction Activity Management solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you conduct routine construction site inspections, record observations of sediment and erosion control on site, understand the effectiveness of stormwater control measures, and provide actionable reports to stakeholders.

Create and assign construction site

When construction is occurring, stormwater inspectors must visit the site regularly to ensure the Stormwater Plan is being followed. Typically an individual inspector is assigned to each site for regular inspection.

In this workflow, you will assume the role of the stormwater manager who assigns an inspector to a construction site.

1. Verify that you are signed in to your ArcGIS organization and browse to the Stormwater Construction Activity Center app.
2. From the item page, click View to open the app.
3. From the top menu, click Manage, then Construction sites.
4. On the left, click the Edit button.
5. Click the Construction sites template.
6. Draw a polygon around the site area where stormwater inspections will occur.
7. Fill in the project information.
8. Click Create.

Perform site inspections

Stormwater construction inspections are critical to ensure stormwater is being managed properly on active sites.

In this workflow, you will assume the role of the stormwater inspector who is conducting an inspection on a construction site.

Note:

This workflow requires the latest versions of both ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS Survey123. Be sure to verify that you have the latest version of both apps before starting the following workflow.

Note:

Your interface may vary depending on the type of mobile device that you use.

1. Open ArcGIS Field Maps and ArcGIS Survey123 on your mobile device and sign in to your ArcGIS organization on both.
2. In ArcGIS Field Maps, tap the Stormwater Construction Inspections Field Map map to open it.

   The map will zoom to your location.

3. Tap anywhere on the construction site polygon that you are inspecting.
4. Click Conduct Stormwater Inspection at the top of the pop-up.

   ArcGIS Survey123 opens the Stormwater Construction Inspection form.

5. Fill out the inspection form.
6. If an issue is found, use the Issues section to capture the location, choose the stormwater control measure that has a defect or deficiency, indicate the issue type, and capture a photo.
7. Tap the refresh button next to Task type, Status, Assigned to, and Due date fields.

   These values are used to create a task for reinspection of that control measure.

8. To add another issue, tap the plus sign in the repeat menu. Repeat these steps for any additional issues.
9. Continue filling out the inspection form.
10. Tap the check mark at the lower right and tap Send now.
11. Go back to ArcGIS Field Maps.

Follow up on issues

Stormwater issues identified on construction inspections must be resolved in a timely manner to ensure that stormwater is being managed properly on active sites.
