Stormwater Management
BMP Maintenance
Best Management Practices lose effectiveness as sediment accumulates and fabric and structures take wear from weather and site traffic. LES provides ongoing BMP maintenance — sediment removal, fabric and stake repair, inlet protection servicing, and basin cleanout — keeping installed controls functioning at design capacity throughout the life of a project.
What’s Included
- Sediment removal once barriers reach roughly one-third to one-half capacity
- Silt fence fabric and stake repair and replacement
- Inlet protection servicing and cleanout
- Sediment basin and trap cleanout
- Construction entrance top-dressing and regrading
Common Failure Points
- BMPs left in place after they're full of sediment instead of cleaned out on schedule
- Torn fabric or pulled stakes from weather or site traffic that go unrepaired between inspections
- Maintenance handled by whoever's available instead of a consistent, accountable crew
- No maintenance record to show an inspector when a BMP's condition is questioned
LES Field Method
- 01Tie maintenance visits to the site's routine and post-rain inspection cycle
- 02Remove sediment before it exceeds roughly one-third to one-half of barrier height
- 03Repair or replace torn fabric, pulled stakes, and damaged structures on the spot
- 04Service and clean out inlet protection and sediment basins
- 05Photo-document each maintenance visit for the project record
Installed. Maintained. Documented.
Every installation, repair, or maintenance visit is photo-documented in the field — so the work holds up under inspection, not just under a good-faith assumption.
- Before, during, and completed-work photos
- Field maintenance notes
- Post-rain observations
- Corrective action tracked through to close-out
- Documentation-ready reports for your compliance file

Frequently Asked Questions
How is BMP maintenance scheduled?
Maintenance is typically tied to the same routine and post-rain-event inspection cycle that identifies BMP condition — sediment removal and repairs are scheduled based on what those inspections find, plus any standing maintenance retainer terms.
