When should BMPs be re-evaluated after repairs?

  1. After the rainy season

  2. As needed, based on performance

  3. Every five years

  4. Only when specifically requested

The correct answer is: As needed, based on performance

BMPs, or Best Management Practices, must be re-evaluated based on their performance after repairs to ensure they are effectively mitigating stormwater pollution. This approach emphasizes a proactive assessment strategy, allowing for timely adjustments or improvements based on how the BMPs perform under actual conditions. By focusing on performance, this method acknowledges that conditions can change due to various factors such as climate variations, increased site activity, or unforeseen damage. Regular performance evaluations help maintain the effectiveness of the BMPs, ensuring compliance with stormwater management regulations and improving overall environmental outcomes. This performance-based timing is more dynamic compared to fixed schedules or conditions, allowing for a more adaptive and responsive management strategy.
