What it does
SWPPP inspection checklists
- Configured per your SWPPP permit and CGP requirements
- BMP status (functioning / needs maintenance / removed)
- Discharge point and receiving water observations
- Rain event triggered inspection tracking
BMP documentation
- Photo each BMP with status and condition notes
- Silt fence, inlet protection, sediment basin, construction exit
- Flag BMPs that need maintenance or repair
- Corrective actions generated automatically
Corrective action tracking
- Out-of-compliance findings generate corrective actions
- Assign to crew member with due date
- Track corrective action completion and photo evidence
- Re-inspection triggered when corrective action is closed
Compliance reporting
- NPDES-compliant inspection report format
- Rain gauge log tied to inspection trigger dates
- Inspector and QISP sign-off on records
- Share with regulator via link or PDF export
How it works
01
Open the SWPPP inspection form
Start a new inspection for the job. Select the trigger type — routine, rain event, or post-rain — and start the checklist.
02
Walk the site and document BMPs
As you walk each BMP, mark its status and take photos. The app guides you through every required observation.
03
Log findings and corrective actions
For each out-of-compliance BMP, log the finding and generate a corrective action with a due date. Assign to the crew member responsible for the fix.
04
Submit the inspection record
Sign off on the inspection and generate the SWPPP inspection report PDF. Share with your QISP or regulator directly from the app.

Common questions
Does Gradelog follow NPDES CGP inspection requirements?
Yes. The SWPPP inspection module follows EPA CGP (Construction General Permit) requirements for inspection frequency, BMP documentation, and corrective action tracking. Customizations are available for state-specific CGP requirements.
Can I log rain gauge readings in Gradelog?
Yes. Rain gauge readings can be logged per job, triggering the required inspection reminders based on your permit's threshold (typically 0.5" in 24 hours or 1" in 7 days).
What does a corrective action look like in SWPPP context?
A corrective action is a documented deficiency (e.g., silt fence breached, inlet protection removed) with a responsible person, due date, and required fix. Gradelog tracks it through completion with photo evidence of the repair.
Can my QISP review and sign off on inspections remotely?
Yes. QISP review and digital sign-off are available within Gradelog. The QISP can access the inspection record from any device and add their professional endorsement before the record is finalized.
