  • Construction sites in Lexington County that fall under the 2021 NPDES Construction General Permit must complete weekly inspections once soil disturbance begins. These inspections must be performed by trained personnel, and our team fulfills 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 built to keep Lexington County projects fully aligned with the 2021 NPDES permit. Each visit includes a detailed review of key areas across the site, including:
     

     

    • Exposed soil and any outdoor material or equipment storage zones

    • Stormwater flow routes and any signs that sediment or pollutants may be leaving designated containment areas

    • All BMPs listed in the site’s SWPPP to confirm proper installation and ongoing functionality

    • Discharge locations to ensure controls are effectively preventing off-site impacts

    • Site access points for tracking, sediment carry-out, or maintenance concerns

     

    Working with SC Erosion Inspections gives Lexington County contractors confidence that their project is being evaluated by certified professionals who understand both state regulations and local expectations. Our goal is to help document compliance, maintain site protection, and support responsible construction throughout Lexington, West Columbia, Irmo, Cayce, and surrounding communities.

  • The Certified Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control Inspector (CEPSCI) program equips field professionals with the training needed to correctly install, monitor, and assess erosion and sediment control measures on active construction sites. CEPSCI-certified inspectors understand how to protect soil stability, manage runoff, and safeguard nearby waterways—skills that are increasingly important in a growing region like Lexington County.

     

     

    Why CEPSCI Certification Matters in Lexington County, SC

     

    As Lexington County continues to expand with new residential, commercial, and industrial development, more disturbed soil is exposed to potential erosion. Without properly functioning controls, sediment can make its way into storm drains, local creeks, and major water resources such as Lake Murray and the Congaree River. CEPSCI-trained inspectors help prevent these impacts by verifying that every BMP on the site is installed correctly and maintained throughout the construction process.
