What should established inspection programs be based on according to the VESCP Authority?

Established inspection programs should be based on a system of priorities that consider factors such as the disturbed area and specific site conditions. This approach is vital because it ensures that inspections are both effective and efficient, allowing resources to be allocated where they are needed most. By prioritizing inspections based on the level of disturbance and the unique characteristics of each site, the program can better address potential erosion and sediment control issues before they lead to environmental problems. This tailored approach promotes better compliance with regulations and enhances the overall quality of erosion and sediment control practices, ensuring that inspections are not just routine, but strategically focused on areas of higher risk or concern.
