I conduct weekly inspections of construction sites to ensure they are complying with the Florida Construction General Permit by following their Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. I inspect the BMPs, and write a report which is sent to a site contact, in addition to calling them to ensure they are informed and provide suggestions and solutions to any violations. I also work independently to create SWPPPs for construction sites, including pulling documents and ensuring books are created properly. Additionally, I use Adobe Photoshop to create Best Management Practice (BMP) maps, and have been helping the company start and expand its usage of ESRI's ArcGIS Online program.
