  • Construction sites in Charleston County covered under the 2021 NPDES Construction General Permit are required to undergo weekly inspections once land-disturbing activity begins. These inspections must be performed by qualified personnel, and our team meets this requirement through Clemson University’s CEPSCI certification—recognized by SCDHEC as the standard for erosion and sediment control compliance.

     

    Our weekly inspection process is designed to keep Charleston County projects fully aligned with the 2021 NPDES permit. Each visit includes a thorough evaluation of critical areas throughout the site, such as:
     

     

    • Areas of exposed soil and any outdoor material or equipment storage locations

    • Stormwater flow paths and indicators that sediment or pollutants may be leaving controlled areas

    • All BMPs identified in the site’s SWPPP to confirm accurate installation and ongoing performance

    • Discharge points to ensure erosion controls are preventing off-site impacts

    • Site entrances and exits for tracking, sediment buildup, or required maintenance

     

    Partnering with SC Erosion Inspections provides Charleston County builders and developers with confidence that their project is being assessed by trained professionals who understand both state requirements and Lowcountry-specific conditions. Our mission is to document compliance, protect your site, and support responsible construction across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, West Ashley, and the surrounding coastal communities.

  • The Certified Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Inspector (CEPSCI) program provides construction professionals with the knowledge necessary to properly install, monitor, and evaluate erosion and sediment control practices on active job sites. CEPSCI-certified inspectors are trained to maintain soil stability, manage stormwater runoff, and protect sensitive waterways—skills that are essential in a coastal region like Charleston County.

     

     

    Why CEPSCI Certification Matters in Charleston County, SC

     

    Charleston County’s steady residential, commercial, and infrastructure growth places increased pressure on natural drainage systems and coastal waters. When erosion controls are not installed or maintained correctly, sediment can enter storm drains, tidal creeks, marshes, and major water bodies such as the Ashley, Cooper, and Stono Rivers. CEPSCI-trained inspectors help prevent these issues by verifying that each BMP is properly implemented and functioning throughout the construction process.
