Instructions for submitting Owner Annual SCM Inspection Reports (Wake County only) Municipalities are responsible for their own SCM inspections and reporting. If the inspection report is for a municipal area, please contact the appropriate local government.

1. Conduct annual inspection and submit by June 30th each year
   • Homeowners can self-inspect
   • Subdivisions and Non-residential sites shall use an appropriate professional (certified BMP inspector)
2. Upload the documents through the Permit Portal
   • Register for an account.
   • Contact Staff so they can add you as a contact for the necessary permits.
   • Go to a permit and use Add Attachments to upload documents.
3. Email reports to watershedmanagement@wake.gov.
4. Email reports directly to Post-Construction Stormwater Staff.
    

The As-Built Stormwater Package shall be submitted to the Plan Review Staff. See Watershed Management Contacts.

The submittal shall include the as-built survey, completed field inspection report, photos and engineer's certification.

Upon submittal, the Post-Construction Staff will inspect the stormwater devices. We are looking for consistency with the plan, as-built survey, installation of the stormwater conveyances and permanent stabilization of the conveyances and SCMs.

The paperwork associated with the SCM will provide information to the owner and the County that the SCM will be maintained in accordance with the Unified Development Ordinance (Article 9-31).

See the As-Built Certification page for more information.

The County is required to inspect 20% of completed stormwater control measures annually. These inspections are conducted by the Post-Construction Stormwater Team. Staff are assigned a list of inspections monthly and will reach out to owners to schedule inspections and update information in our permit system.
