Regulatory demands on municipalities to manage and operate stormwater systems have increased significantly in recent years. Meeting these stringent requirements, particularly for MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) communities, can be challenging. That’s where Schneider Geospatial’s asset management solution steps in, providing a comprehensive and efficient approach to stormwater management.
Simplifying MS4 Compliance
Municipalities have always managed their stormwater, but with the new regulations, documenting and scheduling every activity has become crucial. Schneider Geospatial’s solution is designed to keep MS4 paperwork from becoming a burden. One standout feature is the catch basin cleaning application, which determines which basins need cleaning based on historical data. This not only meets MS4 requirements but also ensures that field teams are always on the same page.
The application also includes a field tool for documenting the tons of material removed from catch basins daily. At the end of each season, an MS4 report summarizes all the cleaned catch basins and the total material removed, making regulatory compliance straightforward and hassle-free.
Comprehensive Field Tools and Reporting
Schneider Geospatial offers robust tools to help crews initiate investigations and document steps taken to identify and resolve issues. Color-coded maps guide field crews, showing which pipes have been cleared and which may still cause illicit discharge. The software also records the total amount of water removed during repairs, ensuring thorough documentation.
Annual outfall and BMP (Best Management Practices) inspections and rotations can be scheduled to ensure that every structure is visited at least once every five years. Schneider Geospatial’s solution records all visual observations, field screenings, and lab results, focusing on MS4 compliance and eliminating guesswork.
Enhanced Efficiency Through Automation
One of the biggest advantages of using Schneider Geospatial’s asset management solution is the automation of tasks, which streamlines field operations and ensures compliance with MS4 permits. Our software generates comprehensive MS4 reports that document all activities, from BMP inspections to outfall inspections.
Our culvert inspection program is another testament to our dedication to efficiency. Developed through extensive collaboration with community clients and their consultants, this program collects detailed data, including upstream and downstream areas and the conduit itself. This thorough approach ensures that all necessary information is available for ultimate reporting.
