This checklist is a starting point. Check each item against your current permit and your agency's standards before relying on it. Based on the ADEC APDES Construction General Permit AKR100000. Inspection frequency depends on the site's annual precipitation and on frozen conditions; the SWPPP should say which applies. Check each template against the current permit and your local requirements before relying on it.

Fill it in on your phone instead.

In inspectorjay, every item gets a pass or fail, a dictated note, and geotagged photos, and the report goes to the contractor before you leave the site.
