Active construction sites are uniquely vulnerable to erosion from rain and wind. When rainwater contacts bare soils at construction sites, it picks up sediment and other pollutants. Proper site management must be ensured so these pollutants aren’t transported to storm sewers and nearby waters that connect to the Mississippi River. When construction is complete, impervious (paved) surfaces still can generate large volumes of stormwater that may contain oil, salt, dirt, bacteria, and trash.
The Permit Inspector will assist the Regulatory Division with inspection of active construction sites and permanent stormwater treatment systems to ensure compliance with District regulations that limit the
discharge of stormwater pollution to our communal water resources.
The Permit Inspector position is an opportunity for individuals to gain experience with construction site inspection, erosion and sediment control practices, development plan review, and the installation and
long-term operation and maintenance of engineered stormwater treatment systems, or Best Management Practices (BMPs), that have been installed in the District since 2006.
The inspector will be responsible for conducting site inspections, documenting work through inspection reports, and communicating findings in person and via telephone and email to construction site managers, BMP owners, and District partners, and regulatory staff. Most of the work will be in the field, with someoffice work including development plan review, email communication and follow-up with permit holders and contractors, record keeping, database management, and other duties as needed.
