ESC inspection programs regularly assess the effectiveness of BMPs, identify maintenance and repair needs, and identify areas where BMPs should be replaced or augmented. Consult the appendices linked in the first column of table 1 and 2 (above) for BMP-specific inspection points.

Where applicable, inspections of ESC measures should be integrated with inspections of LID features. Construction and assumption inspections (https://wiki.sustainabletechnologies.ca/wiki/Inspections_and_maintenance#Inspection_.26_Maintenance_Terminology) for LID features are often required on the same schedule as ESC measures - for example, weekly, after major storm events, or at key construction milestones.
