1 Introduction
The following section will give a brief overview of the City’s stormwater permit
requirements and detail the purpose of this document.
1.1 MS4 Background
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Energy, Mineral,
and Land Resources issued the City of Raleigh its current individual Phase 1 Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit (Permit No. NCS000245), which
authorizes the City to discharge stormwater from the MS4 to receiving waters of the
state within the Neuse River Basin under the conditions of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Section F (Post-Construction Site
Runoff Control) of the permit requires managing stormwater runoff from developments
and ensuring that controls are in place to minimize the water quality impacts. The
conditions of the permit also require pollution prevention and good housekeeping
measures to reduce pollution from authorized stormwater discharges (Section G). In
order to meet stormwater quality standards of the permit, permittees utilize stormwater
control measures (SCMs), which are permanent structural devices that are designed
and constructed to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff. For SCMs to work
effectively, they must be inspected and maintained regularly.
1.2 Purpose of Document
The City of Raleigh Stormwater Management Division maintains and tracks the
compliance of more than 2,000 SCMs across the City. In order to execute its SCM
program, the City of Raleigh implements two city programs: 1) the SCM Inspections
Program, and 2) the Asset Management Program. The Asset Management Program is a
team of City employees responsible for ensuring that all City-owned SCMs required
under sections 9.2.2 B or E of the UDO are inspected, maintained, and functioning as
designed. The purpose of this plan is to document the responsibilities and procedures
of the Asset Management Program. For tracking and enforcement of SCMs required
under sections 9.2.2 A, B, and E of the UDO, refer to the COR SCM Inspections
Program O&M Plan.

2 Organizational Structure
The following section details the responsibilities of the Stormwater Management
Division, defines service-level agreements (SLAs) with SCM-owning City departments,
and provides the ordinances and legal authority that allows the City of Raleigh to
implement the SCM maintenance and inspection program.
2.1 Roles/Responsibilities
The Stormwater Management Division, which falls under the Engineering Services
Department, is responsible for implementing all post-construction stormwater
management requirements listed in the City’s MS4 permit by managing compliance of
privately-owned and City-owned SCMs within the City of Raleigh’s jurisdiction that are
required by the City’s development ordinances. A modified, abridged version of the
Stormwater Management Division’s organizational structure is shown in Figure 2-1. City
departments that own SCMs are responsible for the inspection and maintenance of their
SCMs unless otherwise stated in an SLA with the Stormwater Management Division.

Asset Management Program SCM O&M Plan
February 2022 AECOM
2-2
2.2 SLA Model Template & Best Practices
To facilitate the long-term inspection and maintenance needs of City-owned SCMs, the
Stormwater Management Division has established SLAs to define the roles and
responsibilities of other City departments with SCMs. The purpose of an SLA is to
document the roles and responsibilities of both the owning department and the
Stormwater Management Division, as well as to detail which resources and budgets are
in place to provide the level of service (LOS) and the support each City department will
need to maintain its SCMs. The SLA also documents the processes to which owning
departments must adhere, such as device planning and construction, as-built
acceptance, contractor agreements, and documentation requirements, for their SCMs.
The Stormwater Management Division uses a standard SLA template for all owning
departments, but the roles and responsibilities of the owning departments may be
modified to account for any department-specific limitations. An SLA model template is
included in Appendix A of this plan.
2.3 Ordinances/Legal Authorities
The Stormwater Management Division is authorized to implement its SCM O&M
Program through the City of Raleigh Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), Chapter
1.1, Article 1.1 Legal Provisions and Chapter 9, Article 9.2.2 Stormwater Management,
Sections G and H. The UDO gives the City legal authority to construct or reconstruct,
install, inspect, and maintain all post-construction stormwater devices required under
sections 9.2.2 A, B, and E on both City and private property. Furthermore, it requires
landowners to maintain all on-site stormwater devices unless those devices are
accepted for maintenance by the Stormwater Management Division.

3 Tracking
To ensure uniform tracking of all pertinent information for SCMs required under sections
9.2.2 A, B, and E of the City’s UDO, the SCM Inspections Program maintains an internal
Excel spreadsheet called the “Tracking Spreadsheet” as well as a Geographic
Information System (GIS) database in ArcGIS Online called the “Tracking Layer”. The
Asset Management Program is not responsible for updating or maintaining the “Tracking
Spreadsheet” or “Tracking Layer.” For additional information on SCM tracking, please
refer to the COR SCM Inspections Program O&M Plan.

4 Inspections
The following section discusses the various inspection types and the expected
frequency; inspection preparation and safety; inspection checklists available for various
types of SCMs; and inspection documentation.
4.1 Schedule/Frequency
The City’s Stormwater Management Division manages compliance of SCMs within the
jurisdiction of the City of Raleigh that are required under sections 9.2.2 A, B, and E of
the UDO. The Asset Management Program is responsible for the inspection and
maintenance of City-owned SCMs required under sections 9.2.2 B and E of the UDO,
which undergo routine and annual inspections as specified in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
The City also developed an SCM Inspections standard operating procedure (SOP),
which is included as Appendix B of this plan.
4.1.1 Routine Inspections
The Asset Management Program aims to conduct routine inspections of City-owned
SCMs on a quarterly basis to monitor for any maintenance needs and to ensure proper
function. Routine inspections for City-owned SCMs are conducted by the owning
departments, unless stated otherwise in the department’s SLA. The routine inspection
checklists are provided in Appendix C-1 of this plan.
4.1.2 Annual Inspections
Annual inspections are performed every 12 months for SCMs required under the City of
Raleigh’s UDO section 9.2.2 (section A, B, and E) and cannot be conducted more than
90 days prior to the site’s anniversary date. Retrofit SCMs are not required by the City’s
MS4 permit to undergo annual inspections. Annual inspections for City-owned SCMs
are conducted by the owning departments unless stated otherwise in the department’s
SLA. Annual inspections are comprehensive and require evaluation of each SCM
component to demonstrate that the device is performing properly and is in compliance
with the approved stormwater control O&M plan. Annual inspections must be conducted
by a North Carolina professional engineer, surveyor, or landscape architect. The City
has developed annual inspection checklists for use by professionals when completing
annual inspections of City-owned devices. Following inspection, an annual inspection
report must be completed and submitted to the SCM Inspections Program for review
City of Raleigh Project Number: 60658668
Asset Management Program SCM O&M Plan
March 2022 AECOM
4-2
and acceptance. Annual inspection reports must be certified by the North Carolina
professional engineer, surveyor, or landscape architect who performed the inspection.
More information regarding annual inspections and the annual inspection checklists
developed by the City can be found in Section 4.3 below.
4.2 Inspection Preparation and Safety
Prior to conducting any SCM inspection, inspectors should prepare by reviewing site-
specific documentation, including as-built drawings, SCM specifications, maintenance
requirements, planting plans, and past inspection/maintenance records, when available.
All available site-specific documents are stored digitally on the City’s server. Inspectors
should follow the local weather forecast to avoid inspecting devices directly following a
significant rain event. For rain events totaling more than 1-inch, inspectors should allow
24 to 48 hours before conducting an inspection to ensure that all device components
are clear, visible, and accessible. Prior to performing in-field inspections, safety
precautions should be taken as needed, including, but not limited to; avoiding
hazardous weather conditions, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE), and avoiding unsafe conditions. Inspectors should avoid confined spaces unless
trained and equipped with proper PPE and required permits.
4.3 Annual Inspection Checklists
The Asset Management Program uses device-specific annual inspection checklists
when inspecting City-owned SCMs. A g eneral SCM inspection checklist has also been
developed to cover new SCM types implemented in the future. The annual inspection
checklists are provided in Appendix C-2 of this plan and include the following SCM
types:
• Bioretention basin
• Constructed wetland
• Dry pond
• Filterra
• Level spreader
• Sand filter
• Swale
City of Raleigh Project Number: 60658668
Asset Management Program SCM O&M Plan
March 2022 AECOM

• Underground detention
• Wet pond
• Generic checklist
Each checklist includes a General section that is used to document relevant site
information, such as the date of inspection, current weather conditions, the inspector’s
name, rainfall amounts in the last three days, the anniversary date for the device, and
the date of last inspection, as shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: General Information for Annual Inspection Checklists
The other sections of the form are specific to each device type and ask a series of
device-specific questions to determine whether each component is functioning properly
or in need of maintenance. To provide more information on the extent of maintenance
needed, each question has a two-part answer. The inspector will answer Yes, No, or
Not Applicable and then select the appropriate action, which could be Monitor,
Investigate, or Repair as shown in Figure 4-2.

For example, if the outlet structure of a wet pond is being inspected, the inspector will
be asked to assess whether “Trash, sediment, debris is present at or obstructing the
inlet.” If there is substantial sediment blocking the inlet at the time of inspection, the
inspector would answer “Yes” and “Repair” as shown in Figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3: Inlet Points for Annual Inspection Checklists
Each individual component will receive a status code of Fully Functional (FF), Partially
Functional (PF), or Not Functional (NF) based on the answers as shown in Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4: SCM Status Code Options for Annual Inspection Checklist
At the conclusion of each inspection checklist is an overall SCM evaluation (see Figure
4-5 below), which requires the inspector to summarize all routine and immediate
maintenance needs (if applicable), assess the probability and consequence of SCM
failure, and provide a LOS score for the entire device.
City of Raleigh Project Number: 60658668
Asset Management Program SCM O&M Plan
March 2022 AECOM
4-5
Figure 4-5: Overall SCM Evaluation for Annual Inspection Checklists
The annual inspection checklists ensure that each component across all devices is
thoroughly inspected and allow the City to track a device’s improvement or decline over
time. The inspection checklists are reviewed and updated as needed on an annual
basis by the City team as part of the continuous improvement process.
4.4 Documentation of Completed Inspections
Completed routine inspections are documented in CityWorks, an Asset Management
System used by the City to track routine SCM inspections and maintenance. A work-
order generation capability for SCM maintenance workflow is currently under
development for CityWorks.
Annual inspection reports for SCMs required under sections 9.2.2 B and E of the UDO
can be submitted to the SCM Inspections Program for approval 90 days prior to the
site’s anniversary date in PDF format. Annual inspection reports must be certified by the
North Carolina professional engineer, surveyor, or landscape architect who performed
the inspection. Annual inspection reports must be submitted with the Stormwater Device

Annual Inspection Report Summary (Form-501). Once the annual inspection report has
been approved and accepted by the SCM Inspections Program, the report will be
signed by City staff and returned to the submitter and the acceptance of the annual
inspection report will be tracked in the “Tracking Spreadsheet.” All signed annual
inspection reports are retained for 6 years on the City’s server.

5 Maintenance
The Asset Management Program is responsible for maintaining SCMs located on City
property, pursuant to the SLA with the owning department. The Asset Management
Program identifies devices in need of maintenance, then prioritizes, budgets, and
implements routine maintenance and major repairs in order to ensure all devices are
maintained properly and functioning as designed.
The following section discusses routine maintenance; specialized maintenance; major
repairs and rehabilitation; contractor qualifications; general and SCM-specific routine
maintenance guidance documents; the notification process for immediate corrective
actions; and documentation of completed maintenance and costs.
5.1 Routine Maintenance
Routine maintenance of City-owned SCMs will be accomplished by City maintenance
staff or qualified maintenance contractors and tracked in CityWorks. Routine
maintenance items are continuously addressed by maintenance staff or by contractors
under routine maintenance contracts. Additional routine maintenance items can be
identified during routine and annual inspections and would then be incorporated into
ongoing routine maintenance activities.
The City has developed technical guidance and specifications for routine maintenance
of SCMs. The maintenance documents include a general section that addresses
maintenance requirements for any type of SCM and additional sections that provide
SCM-specific guidance. The maintenance documents specify required frequency of
routine maintenance items, a framework for documentation of these items, and limited
specifications for materials and methods.
5.2 Specialized Maintenance
Specialized maintenance of City-owned SCMs will be accomplished by contractors with
expertise in the specific maintenance needed. These maintenance needs may include,
but are not limited to, aquatic vegetation maintenance or removal, tree care, pest
control, etc. Specialized maintenance needs can be identified during routine and annual
inspections. Any specialized SCM maintenance performed will be tracked in CityWorks.
City of Raleigh Project Number: 60658668
Asset Management Program SCM O&M Plan
February 2022 AECOM
5-2
5.3 Major Repairs & Rehabilitation
Major repairs or rehabilitation needs for City-owned SCMs are identified during routine
and annual inspections as immediate corrective actions. These types of repairs are
typically infrequent, costly, and are unable to be addressed by routine maintenance.
SCMs in need of major repairs or rehabilitation are prioritized based on LOS scores
which are given by the inspector (see Figure 4-5) during annual SCM inspections. The
complexity of maintenance work as well as the consequences and probability of SCM
failure are considered during prioritization. Depending on the level of effort, expertise
required, and City staff availability, the major repairs will either be assigned to City
Maintenance staff or to a qualified maintenance contractor.
If the maintenance work is to be assigned to a contractor, the Asset Management
Program will develop a Repair & Rehabilitation (R&R) Plan that is SCM-specific. An
R&R Plan is a construction document that typically consists of general notes; specific
restoration and maintenance activities; and annotated original design plans (if available)
showing the locations and extent of needed repairs or modifications identified by the
Asset Management Program. R&R Plans are not intended to be used to completely
redesign or rebuild SCMs. Once an R&R plan has been developed and finalized,
maintenance work will be awarded to a contractor through a bidding process; see
Section 5.4 for maintenance contractor qualifications. As with other maintenance work,
these activities will be documented in CityWorks.
5.4 Maintenance Contractor Qualifications
The City is currently developing a process to identify and maintain a group of qualified
contractors for SCM maintenance. The process will include development and use of the
appropriate procurement process to identify qualified contractors for both non-routine
maintenance projects, such as comprehensive rehabilitation projects, as well as routine
maintenance of SCMs. The City has also developed mechanisms that would hold
contractors responsible for issues that develop during a period following the completion
of maintenance work and before the device is accepted by the Stormwater Division.
This will be accomplished by providing for a contracting mechanism that incentivizes the
contractor to maintain the device until final acceptance.

February 2022 AECOM
5-3
5.5 Notification of Immediate Corrective Actions
The immediate need for corrective actions may be triggered when the inspection
reveals that the condition of an SCM may be deemed hazardous to public health, safety,
and welfare or if the SCM is no longer functional. Examples of hazardous conditions
may include standing water on travel ways open to traffic, failed/crushed piping, missing
manhole covers, signs of embankment failure, damaged fencing around steep slopes,
flooding hazards, etc. If an SCM is discovered to be a danger to the health, safety, and
welfare of the public, the inspector should immediately notify their point of contact at the
City by phone of the hazardous conditions so that appropriate action can be taken to
address the issue. A hotline number (919-996-3940) or an email to
RaleighStormwater@raleighnc.gov can also be used as methods for reporting. A
quantitative risk assessment scoring mechanism, which will assess the level of risk to
the City if a stormwater device were to fail, is currently in development and will be
applied to the annual inspection checklists for City-owned SCMs.
5.6 Documentation of Completed Maintenance and Costs
The owning department is responsible for documenting completed maintenance and
associated costs within the CityWorks application. The Stormwater Management
Division will reimburse the owning departments for any maintenance costs as specified
in the SLA. Costs are tracked on a per device basis for time, labor, and materials.

6 Annual Program Review
The Stormwater Management Division reviews its stormwater program annually in order
to identify whether sufficient funding and resources are available to meet the City’s
NPDES MS4 permit requirements. The following section discusses the Asset
Management Program’s budget and resource needs, and how the City seeks to
continually improve its stormwater program.
6.1 Identify Budget and Resource Needs
The Stormwater Management Division reviews their budget and resource needs for the
Asset Management Program to perform inspections and maintenance for all City-owned
SCMs. Program duties typically include:
• Prepare and update SLAs with City departments that own SCMs, as appropriate.
• Accept SCMs into the program once they are constructed, as-built certification is
completed, and warranty period has ended.
• Confirm with SCM Inspections Program staff that all SCMs accepted into the
program are classified correctly such that all devices are inspected routinely and
annually, as required.
• Identify maintenance needs and develop R&R Plans accordingly based on
routine and annual inspections.
During annual review, the SCM Inspections Program documents several reporting
metrics associated with the City’s post-construction runoff MS4 requirements, such as
the number of sites with SCMs throughout the City and the number of sites with newly
approved O&M plans. The Stormwater Management Division can use these metrics to
assess program growth and whether more funding and/or resources are needed going
forward. As SCMs continue to be constructed throughout the City of Raleigh, the
Stormwater Management Division will continue to annually assess the budgetary,
staffing, and resource needs for performing the Program’s duties listed above.

6.2 Adaptive Management
The City aims to continually evaluate and improve the Asset Management Program
through process improvements based on findings from the annual program review. The
City can make appropriate changes to the different procedures used to accomplish the
program goals, such as evaluating the annual inspection checklists for necessary
improvements and tracking SCM LOS scores or other performance measures to identify
SCMs that may need more frequent maintenance to maintain functionality.

7 Annual Reporting
The Stormwater Management Division is required by the City’s NPDES MS4 permit to
submit an annual report describing the activities performed in support of each aspect of
its Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The annual report is divided into ten
sections, which include the six minimum control measures, program implementation,
water quality monitoring, and total maximum daily loads. Each section includes a brief
program narrative, the specific MS4 permit requirements, and associated best
management practices (BMPs), as identified in the SWMP. Each program-specific BMP
is accompanied by an annual reporting metric specified in the SWMP in order to
demonstrate compliance, followed by the activities performed by the City during the
permit year. MS4 permit requirements relating to SCMs, annual reporting metrics, and
activities performed during the permit year are recorded in Section F of the annual
report.

1 Introduction
The City of Raleigh is authorized by its Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Permit (Permit No. NCS000245) to discharge stormwater from its MS4 to receiving waters of the
state. To meet the stormwater quality standards of the permit, the City utilizes stormwater
control measures (SCMs), which are permanent structural devices designed to manage
stormwater runoff. For SCMs to work effectively, they must be inspected and maintained
regularly.
The City of Raleigh Stormwater Management Division maintains and tracks the compliance of
more than 2,000 SCMs across the City. In order to execute its SCM program, the City of Raleigh
implements two city programs: 1) the SCM Inspections Program, and 2) the Asset Management
Program. The SCM Inspections Program is a team of City employees tasked with tracking the
compliance of all SCMs and overseeing enforcement. The Asset Management Program is a
team of City employees responsible for ensuring that all City-owned SCMs are inspected,
maintained, and functioning as designed.
1.1 Purpose of Document
The purpose of this SCM Inspection Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to provide
standard procedures for SCM inspectors to conduct thorough inspections at each site, in order
to ensure SCMs are performing properly in compliance with the site’s approved stormwater
control plan and the City’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 9.2.2.D. The
recommendations and best practices detailed in this document are based on industry standards.
SCM Inspections SOP Project Number: 60658668
January 2022 AECOM

2 SCM Inventory
To ensure uniform tracking of all pertinent SCM information, the SCM Inspections Program
maintains an internal spreadsheet called the “Tracking Spreadsheet”. The spreadsheet is used
to track the annual inspection compliance status of each site, the anniversary date, plan name,
site address, site contact information, and any tracking notes associated with each site. The
spreadsheet is updated periodically to reflect any changes in ownership or contact information,
compliance status, etc.
To manage SCM data, the SCM Inspections Program creates and manages an N-file (N: Total
Nitrogen) folder on the City’s server for each site, which may contain more than one SCM. An N-
file folder contains digital copies or scans of a site’s as-built information, site maps, previous
inspection documentation, enforcement documentation, and any other historical documents.
The N-file folders assist the City with compliance tracking and fulfilling document requests from
property owners and inspectors.
SCM Inspections SOP Project Number: 60658668

3 Types of Inspections and Frequency
The SCM Inspections Program administers inspections for SCMs required under the UDO
Sections 9.2.2.A, B, or E. The following section describes the three types of SCM inspections.
3.1 Internal SCM Inspections
At the direction of City Council, all SCMs within the City of Raleigh that were required under
UDO Sections 9.2.2.A, B, or E must have an internal inspection be conducted by City Staff once
every three years. The inspection report and accompanying photos are stored in the N-file
folder, and the date of the most recent internal inspection is stored in the Tracking Spreadsheet
mentioned in Section 2. These inspections are not required by the City’s National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 permit.
3.2 Routine SCM Inspections
Routine inspections are not required by the City’s NPDES MS4 permit. However, since City-
owned SCMs must be regularly maintained, the Asset Management Program conducts routine
inspections of all City-owned SCMs on a quarterly basis. Any routine SCM inspections
conducted on private property are completed at the discretion of the property owner.
3.3 Annual SCM Inspections
Annual inspections are required for all SCMs that are under the City of Raleigh’s UDO Sections
9.2.2.A, B, or E. An annual inspection must be completed and certified by a North Carolina
Professional Engineer, Surveyor, or Landscape Architect. The annual inspection report must
certify that all SCMs, including open space areas, are performing properly and are in
compliance with the approved stormwater control plan, the applicable maintenance manual, and
Raleigh Stormwater Control & Watercourse Buffer Manual. Inspections are due on a yearly
basis and must be conducted within 90 days prior to the SCM’s anniversary date. The
anniversary date is based on the date the SCM as-built certification was accepted by the City.
Pursuant to the owning department’s Service-Level Agreement (SLA), the Asset Management
Program is responsible for annual inspections of City-owned SCMs. Therefore, the Asset
Management Program contracts with professionals when necessary to perform these
inspections and submit the reports to the SCM Inspections Program. Annual inspections are
reviewed, enforced, and tracked by the SCM Inspections Program.

4 Procedures for Inspection Preparation and Safety
Proper preparation prior to SCM inspection is key to ensuring each inspection is thorough and
representative of a device’s current condition. Prior to inspection, the inspector should review all
relevant site documents, confirm that the inspection is scheduled appropriately, gather all
necessary field equipment, and take adequate safety precautions. The following sections
discuss the procedures for proper inspection preparation.
4.1 Document Review
Reviewing historical documents prior to SCM inspection is an essential part of inspection
preparation. The documents an inspector can reference and the information the inspector
should take note of within each document are listed below. Digital copies or scans of historical
documents are stored in each site’s N-file folder on the City’s server.
As-Built Drawings & Photos: As-built drawings are construction drawings that show
the post-construction dimensions, elevations, and locations of all design components
associated with each SCM on site. Certified and sealed as-built drawings for each site
must be submitted to the City upon completion of SCM construction. Inspectors should
review the as-built drawings prior to inspection and take copies into the field if able.
Prior to inspection, inspectors should review the as-built drawings and photos for the
locations of all design components within the device, inlet and outlet pipe sizes and
materials, riser details, vegetation, and any other pertinent information related to the
device’s design. Once in the field, the inspector can then verify the as-built drawings
against the device and note any deviations. Examples of deviations may include
differing inlet pipe sizes or materials, the number of inlets in the field does not match
the as-builts, riprap armoring on the emergency spillway was present in the field but not
shown in the as-builts, etc. In case of SCMs where as-built documents are not
available, available design drawings should be reviewed and any deviations noted in
the inspection reports.
Planting Plans: Planting plans are construction drawings that show the different
varieties of plants that should be present within a device after construction is
completed, as well as the number of each plant variety. Planting plans are often
included with the as-built drawings and are typically only associated with devices that
use planted vegetation for treatment such as stormwater wetlands, bioretention cells,
and Filterra units. If a device has a planting plan, inspectors should review the planting
plan prior to inspection and take a copy into the field if able. Prior to inspection, the
inspector should become familiar with the plant varieties shown on the planting plan
and gather information on what the plants look like so the inspector can identify them in
the field. Once in the field, the inspector can then verify the planting plans against what
is present in the device and note any deviations. Deviations may include different plant
varieties present in the field than what is shown in the planting plan, and the specified
number of each plant variety in the field does not match the planting plan.
Stormwater Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Manual:All SCMs required under the
UDO Sections 9.2.2.A, B, or E must have an approved O&M manual. O&M manuals
are device-specific documents written by the design engineer that establish procedures
and maintenance requirements for each design component. Inspectors should briefly
SCM Inspections SOP Project Number: 60658668
January 2022 AECOM
4-2
review the O&M manual prior to inspection to gather information such as the required
drawdown time, vegetation that should be removed if present, appropriate grass height,
where to inspect for signs of erosion, different kinds of erosion and the associated
indicators to look for, specific areas of outlet structures that warrant close inspection,
depth of sediment inside the device that requires removal, permanent pool elevation,
etc.
Previous Inspection Reports: Previous years’ inspection reports are particularly
important to review prior to inspection. Inspectors should review the reports for
information regarding previous routine maintenance needs and any major repairs
identified. During inspection, the inspector should verify that all maintenance needs or
repairs mentioned in the previous inspection report have been addressed.
4.2 Scheduling Inspections
The inspector should take into account the type of inspection being performed, the SCM’s
anniversary date, if any of the devices on-site are dependent on the growing season, recent
rainfall amounts, and the proximity to other sites. More detail on what specifically the inspector
should consider when scheduling an inspection is provided below.
Inspection Type:There are three types of inspections performed by the City with
different frequency requirements. The inspector should be aware of the inspection type
they are performing and schedule accordingly. Refer to Section 3 for more information
on each inspection type and their frequency.
Anniversary Date:An SCM’s anniversary date is defined as the date the as-built
package for an SCM requiring an annual inspection was accepted by the City. If the
inspector is performing an annual inspection, the inspector must perform the inspection
and submit the annual inspection report within 90 days prior to the anniversary date for
the site to remain in compliance.
Growing Season:Inspecting certain devices during the growing season is especially
important for annual inspections. The main purpose of annual inspections is to confirm
that the device is functioning as designed and is maintained properly. For device types
that include planted vegetation as a design element, it is critical to inspect these
devices during the growing season to ensure that the health of the planted vegetation
can be accurately assessed. Devices that commonly include planted vegetation are
stormwater wetlands, bioretention cells, and Filterra units.
Significant Storm Events:A significant storm event is defined as a storm totaling
greater than 1 inch within 24 hours. Unknowingly inspecting devices directly after a
significant storm event could lead to conclusions that are not representative of the
overall condition of a device. For example, unknowingly inspecting a dry pond the day
after a significant storm event could cause the inspector to falsely conclude that the
device is holding water, triggering maintenance items. Inspectors should consult a
device’s O&M manual or the device-specific North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) O&M manual to determine the required drawdown
time. Inspectors should also review recent rainfall data to determine if a significant
storm event or any other smaller events have occurred within 72 hours of the inspection
and take that data into consideration when performing an inspection.
SCM Inspections SOP Project Number: 60658668
January 2022 AECOM
4-3
Location:If an inspector is performing inspections at multiple sites on a given day, the
inspector should use each site’s location and determine their proximity to each other to
determine the most efficient route.
4.3 Field Preparation
Proper field preparation is an important aspect of conducting thorough inspections, and the
necessary equipment and preparation may vary between sites. Some SCMs may be located at
secure facilities or on private property and will require inspectors to notify and coordinate access
with the City departments, the facility, and/or the owner prior to inspection. Depending on the
device type, such as devices with underground components, inspectors may also need to
coordinate with the City or subconsultants to facilitate the use of closed-circuit television (CCTV)
devices prior to the inspection of underground components. Some sites will require facility
and/or device specific preparation, and inspectors should develop a checklist of field items
needed to complete inspections. This checklist should include items such as proper
identification, inspection forms, electronic devices used for inspections, personal protective
equipment (PPE), a first aid kit, sunscreen, insect repellant, snake chaps, measuring tape,
leather gloves, manhole hooks, etc. An example field materials checklist can be found in
Appendix A.
4.4 Safety
Prior to performing field inspections, safety precautions should be taken as needed, including,
but not limited to, conducting a vehicle check before traveling to the site, avoiding hazardous
weather conditions, wearing the appropriate PPE, and taking frequent breaks for water.
Inspectors should avoid confined spaces unless trained and equipped with the proper PPE and
required certifications. Inspectors should be aware of their surroundings at all times while
performing inspections.

5 Inspection Checklists
The City performs three types of SCM inspections: internal, routine, and annual. Each type of
inspection uses a distinct inspection checklist. The following sections provide an overview of the
checklists for each type of inspection with guidance on how to complete them. The figures
shown in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 use the Dry Detention inspection checklist as an example.
5.1 Internal Inspections
At the direction of City Council, all SCMs within the City of Raleigh that require an annual
inspection must be inspected once every three years by City staff. Internal inspections are
performed by the SCM Inspections Program using PDF-fillable, device-specific inspection
checklists called Form 600s. A blank Form 600 is attached in Appendix B. Each inspection
checklist, regardless of device type, requires the inspector to fill out general information about
the site. This information, shown in Figure 1 below, is important to ensure each device being
inspected is accurately identified.
Figure 5-1: Internal Inspections Checklist – General Information
The inspection checklist is intended to be brief but provides each design component and the
overall device with a status of Fully Functional (FF), Minor Functional Issues (MFI), Partially
Functional (PF), or Not Functional (NF). Once finished with the inspection, the inspector should
assign the device an Overall Status of FF, MFI, PF, or NF based on the assessment of each
design component. The status codes are defined as follows:
Fully Functional (FF) – All parts are in good working order
Minor Functional Issues (MFI) – Device is functional, but has some minor areas to
monitor
Partially Functional (PF) – Part of the device needs repairs
Not Functional (NF) – Repairs are required
Each design component has a series of checkboxes that list potential maintenance needs
associated with that design component. Common maintenance needs may vary slightly across
design components. During inspection, the inspector should only check the boxes that apply.
Figure 5-2 below is an example of how this may be filled out in the field.
SCM Inspections SOP Project Number: 60658668
January 2022 AECOM
5-2
Figure 5-2: Internal Inspections Checklist – Maintenance Needs Assessment
Once the inspector has checked all boxes that apply, each design component will be assigned a
status code based on what was observed in the field. For further clarification, any field
observations or maintenance needs should be written out in the Comments section for each
design component. The comment shown in Figure 5-3 below illustrates how to fill out this
section.
Figure 5-3: Internal Inspections Checklist – Status Code
At the end of each inspection checklist is an area for the inspector to attach photos, shown
below in Figure 5-4. The inspector should attach photos of any important maintenance needs
identified during the inspection and include a caption explaining what is being shown in each
photo.
Figure 5-4: Internal Inspection Checklists – Photos of Maintenance Needs
SCM Inspections SOP Project Number: 60658668
January 2022 AECOM
5-3
5.2 Routine SCM Inspections
Routine SCM inspections of City-owned SCMs are performed quarterly by the Asset
Management Program using electronic inspection checklists developed in CityWorks. Privately-
owned SCMs are inspected at the discretion of the property owner and do not use the routine
inspection checklists shown in Appendix C. Appendix C includes an overview of the routine
SCM inspection fields as they appear in CityWorks. Routine inspections checklists are brief in
nature and are specific to each device type. The inspector is required to select Yes or No from a
drop-down menu in response to each question, shown in Figure 5-5 below.
Figure 5-5: Routine Inspections Checklists – Drop Down Menu
Maintenance needs are identified throughout the routine inspection checklists based on the
question and the inspector’s answer. Contingent on an inspector’s answer, the inspector may be
required to provide comments, as shown in Figure 5-6; however, certain questions require a
comment regardless of the inspector’s answer, as shown in Figure 5-7 below. Comments should
clearly explain the current condition of the design component in question, the routine or
immediate maintenance needs identified, and any other information needed to understand the
device’s current condition.

Lastly, at the end of each inspection checklist is an area for the inspector to provide any closing
observations about the overall device, list all needed repairs across all design components, and
provide recommendations for maintaining the device. The inspected SCM is then assigned a
condition score. The conclusion of the routine inspection form is shown below in Figure 5-8.

5.3 Annual SCM Inspections
Annual inspections are performed on a yearly basis and must be conducted within 90 days prior
to the SCM’s anniversary date. Annual inspections of City-owned SCMs are conducted by the
Asset Management Program or their contracted professionals. Annual inspections of privately-
owned SCMs are conducted by a North Carolina Professional Engineer, Surveyor, or
Landscape Architect as discussed previously in Section 3.3. Annual inspections require
thorough evaluation of each design component to demonstrate that the device is functioning as
designed. The Asset Management Program has developed nine device-specific annual
inspection checklists for inspection of City-owned SCMs. Checklists were developed for the
following SCM types:
Bioretention basin
Dry pond
Filterra
Level spreader
Sand filter
Stormwater wetland
Swale
Underground detention
Wet pond
A generic annual inspection checklist was also developed to be used for any device that does
not have a specific checklist. Appendix D includes the nine (9) SCM-specific annual inspection

checklists as well as the generic SCM inspection checklist. Appendix E includes an example
annual inspection checklist, which has been annotated with instructions and guidance on how to
complete.Not all sections of the annotated inspection checklist have been completed, but rather
only the sections where guidance on completing the checklist would be beneficial to the
inspector.
Each inspection checklist contains a General section that documents relevant site information
such as the device type, N-file, date of inspection, the site’s anniversary date, recent rainfall,
etc. The following sections of each form are specific to the design components associated with
each device type. For example, the dry pond inspection checklist will include sections for Inlet
Points, Forebay, Basin, Outlet Structure, Emergency Spillway, Embankment, and
Miscellaneous, whereas the swale inspection checklist will include sections for Inlet Points,
Swale, Outlet Structure, and Miscellaneous. Each design component section asks a series of
questions to determine if the component is functioning properly or needs maintenance. Each
question requires a two-part answer. The inspector will be required to provide an Observation of
Yes,No, or Not Applicable and an Action of Monitor, Investigate,or Repair.Once the inspector
has completed all questions, the inspector will be required to give each design component a
Status Code of Fully Functional (FF),Partially Functional (PF), or Not Functional (NF) and
provide notes detailing what was observed in the field to warrant the Status Code assigned.
At the conclusion of each annual inspection checklist are the Approximate Quantity of
Maintenance Items Required section and the SCM Evaluation section. If applicable, the
inspector shall document the length, material, and diameter of pipe replacement, as well as the
square footage of area to be re-seeded and the number of trees to be removed in the
Approximate Quantity of Maintenance Items Required section. The SCM Evaluation section
requires the inspector to provide a summary of all routine maintenance needs and immediate
corrective actions, the probability and consequence of failure, and providing a Level of Service
score for the overall device. The Level of Service score for each device is used by the City to
track the performance of SCMs over time. The details on Level of Service scores are provided
in the checklists in Appendix D.

6 Documentation of Completed Inspections
Documentation of completed annual SCM inspections are required by the City’s MS4 NPDES
permit to be in compliance. Internal and routine SCM inspections are documented for the City’s
record but are not required by the City’s permit.
Completed Internal SCM Inspections:Internal inspections are tracked in the City’s
Tracking Spreadsheet managed by the SCM Inspections Program. The date of
inspection and any observations or maintenance needs identified during the
inspection are also documented in the City’s Tracking Spreadsheet.
Completed Routine SCM Inspections:Routine inspections of City-owned SCMs are
completed and tracked in CityWorks by the Asset Management Program.
Completed Annual SCM Inspections:Annual inspection reports for SCMs are
submitted to the SCM Inspections Program up to 90 days prior to the SCM’s
anniversary date in PDF format and are tracked using the City’s Tracking
Spreadsheet. All annual inspection reports of SCMs required under the UDO Sections
9.2.2.A, B, or E are retained for 6 years and are located on the City’s server. Annual
inspection reports of SCMs are required by the City to be submitted with a
Stormwater Device Annual Inspection Summary form (Form 501). Form 501 serves
as a cover page for the annual inspection report and provides a general overview of
the SCM location, property owner information, and the North Carolina Professional
Engineer’s, Surveyor’s, or Landscape Architect’s seal. As specified in Form 501,
reports should include all items listed in the Stormwater Device Annual Inspection
Report Checklist.

7 Compliance and Enforcement Processes
Compliance and enforcement procedures only apply to annual inspections. The submittal of an
annual inspection report within 90 days prior to a device’s anniversary date is required for all
SCMs to remain in compliance with UDO Sections 9.2.2.A, B, or E. If an annual inspection
report is not submitted to the SCM Inspections Program by the device’s anniversary date, the
owner is notified. The following flowchart Figure 7-1 depicts the process of identification and
documentation of SCMs required under the UDO Sections 9.2.2.A, B, or E that are non-
compliant, the notification process, and enforcement procedures.
