Stay Compliant with Chapter 102

Hire a Qualified Visual Inspector (QVI)

Protect Your Project. Avoid Fines. Stay on Schedule.

If you’re a contractor, builder, developer, or site manager holding an NPDES Permit in Pennsylvania, you know how critical it is to stay compliant with Chapter 102 regulations. Avoid costly delays, penalties, and enforcement actions by partnering with a Qualified Visual Inspector (QVI)—your on-site compliance ally.

What Is a QVI?

A Qualified Visual Inspector (QVI) is trained to perform the required weekly and post-rain event inspections on your construction site. We monitor your erosion & sediment controls and post-construction stormwater management BMPs to ensure they meet DEP requirements—and protect your bottom line.

Why You Need a QVI on Your Team

Chapter 102 Requires:

  • Weekly inspections of erosion and sediment controls

  • Inspections within 24 hours of any 0.25"+ storm event

  • Accurate documentation of site conditions and BMP performance

  • Timely corrective actions and follow-up reporting

Our QVIs Deliver:

  • DEP-compliant inspection reports

  • Photo documentation

  • Real-time issue tracking and notifications

  • Expert support for maintaining your E&S and PCSM plans

  • Peace of mind that you're meeting your permit obligations

Avoid Common Pitfalls

Without a QVI:

  • BMPs can fail unnoticed

  • Sediment discharges may occur

  • Documentation may be incomplete or non-compliant

  • Your project risks violations, stop work orders, and fines

Hiring a QVI is the proactive step that helps you build responsibly, protect the environment, and stay in the DEP’s good graces.

Flexible Scheduling.
