2. Compliance to the General Permit requires that captured dischargers develop and implement effective pollution control measures.
These pollution control measures are called Best Management Practices or BMPs.
Captured dischargers must be able to demonstrate that their BMPs are indeed effective at controlling off-site discharge of polluted storm waters AND that the BMPs are fully implemented on site at all times
The BMP WEEKLY FACILITY INSPECTION REPORT is the tool that GSMP members use to demonstrate these General Permit compliance requirements.

You do not record the inspection date on this report. Rather you will record, in section B, the WEEK ENDING DATE which will be Friday of each week in the month.
If the BMP is determined to be fully implemented, you will indicate that by checking the “In Place” box under the WEEK ENDING DATE column. C
The DESCRIPTION of the BMP deficiency and corresponding corrective action is to be recorded in section C. 
If the BMP is determined NOT to be fully implemented, you will record the C/A DATE or the date the correction action will be implemented to correct the deficiency. All BMP deficiencies must be corrected within 30 days.
