I Inspection Report Template — Field Version IPurpose This Inspection Report Template (or"template") was designed to assist you in preparing inspection reports for I EPA's 2012 Construction General Permit (CGP). If you are covered under the 2012 CGP, this template will enable you to create an inspection report form that is customized to the specific circumstances of your project and that complies with the minimum reporting requirements of Part 4.1.7 of the permit. Note that the use of this Iform is optional;you may use your own inspection report form provided it includes the minimum information required in Part 4.1.7 of the CGP. If you are covered under a state CGP, this template may be helpful in developing a form that can be used for that permit; however it will need to be modified to meet the specific requirements of that permit. If your permitting authority requires you to use a specific inspection report form,you should not use this form. I Notes: While EPA has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of all instructions and guidance contained in the Inspection Report Template, the actual obligations of regulated construction activities are determined by the I relevant provisions of the permit, not by the template. In the event of a conflict between the Inspection Report Template and any corresponding provision of the 2012 CGP,you must abide by the requirements in the permit. EPA welcomes comments on the Inspection Report Template at any time and will consider those comments in any future revision of this document. You may contact EPA for CGP-related inquiries at cqp@eDa.gov. 1 Overview of Inspection Requirements Construction operators covered under the 2012 CGP are subject to the following requirements in Part 4: IInspection Frequency(see Part 4.1.4) You are required to conduct inspections either: • Once every 7 calendar days;or • Once every 14 calendar days and within 24 hours of a storm event of 0.25 inches or greater.
