What's included

In every monthly report.

Every active permit

Each ILR10 permit inside your boundaries, matched to its project address.

A grade per project

With month-over-month changes and the finding that moved each one.

Flagged blanks

Unsigned inspections, missing corrective actions and other gaps in required paperwork.

Past their end date

Permits still open after their stated end date, with no Notice of Termination filed.

Where it fits

A paper trail for construction site runoff control.

Your ILR40 permit calls for a construction site runoff control program and an annual report on it. A documented monthly review of every active site gives that report a record that is dated, sourced and consistent from month to month.

You keep

  • Your ordinance and permitting
  • Your site inspections
  • Your enforcement decisions

We add

  • Monthly review of permittee paperwork
  • Flagged blanks and lapsed records
  • Permits past their end date
  • A dated record for your annual report

Questions municipalities ask

Do you need access to our systems or records?

No. Reviews work from IEPA's ILR10 Notice of Intent and the SWPPP filed with it, plus inspection and corrective-action records requested from the permittee under ILR10 Part IV.B.6.

Does this replace our own inspections?

No. Your ordinance, inspections and enforcement stay yours. The monthly report documents permittee paperwork alongside them.

Are the grades public?

Yes. Every grade card is published and searchable. Your monthly report adds the jurisdiction-wide view and the month-over-month changes.

Who does the reviewing?

An independent Illinois practice whose reviewers graded construction-site SWPPPs across North Cook County from 2017 to 2020. [Reviewer qualifications]
