M4E Post Rainfall Checklist

by Dane Brookes, from the Community

30+

This post rainfall checklist helps construction teams verify site stability and environmental compliance after rain events. It guides inspectors to assess erosion and sediment controls, check crossings and waterways for erosion, review driveway entries and exits for scouring, determine dewatering needs, test water quality and permits for sumps and sediment basins, confirm stockpiles are stabilized, capture photos, and document any sediment that has left site.

Critical Control Inspection for Sediment to Waterways
This critical control field inspection checklist helps teams verify erosion and sediment controls to prevent sediment reaching waterways. It guides verification of a current Soil and Water Management Plan, correct installation of erosion and sediment measures such as diversions, stabilisation, vegetation cover, sediment basins, fences and curtains, and reviews dewatering practices to avoid off-site discharge. It also prompts review of water monitoring results for TSS and turbidity to meet legal limits and rate overall control effectiveness. Designed for construction and infrastructure projects focused on environmental compliance and site water quality.

Erosion and Sediment Control Checklist
Use this erosion and sediment control checklist to assess environmental controls on active worksites. Verify site specific ESC plans, staging, and qualified preparation. Review sediment basins, dewatering, stormwater diversion, erosion controls on steep areas, and maintenance status. Confirm permits for works in waterways, monitoring programs, reporting of non compliance, and corrective actions. Document soil exposure limits, flow path design, and basin sizing. Capture photos, add comments, and sign off inspection findings.

Spiecapag Weekly Erosion and Sediment Control Checklist
This weekly erosion and sediment control checklist helps site teams inspect and maintain controls across pipeline and civil construction projects. Verify right of way access is clean, ESC materials are available, dust is minimized, and clean water is diverted appropriately. Check for scour in drainage lines, signs of erosion from site activities, and confirm soil and mulch stockpiles are positioned away from waterways. Ensure sediment controls are installed, maintained, and functioning, and that dirty water is contained and not discharged off site. Review pre disturbance controls, sediment trap and sump capacity, wash down bay sediment handling, and readiness for forecast rain events. Confirm soil management complies with the primary ESC plan and that progressive plans are developed where needed.

Post Rainfall Inspection Checklist
This post rainfall inspection checklist helps construction and civil works teams assess site conditions after rain. Review hazardous substance storage, ensure bunds are emptied and protected from stormwater, check that concentrated flow areas are stabilised, confirm stockpiles have downstream controls, and verify drainage lines are clear of debris. Identify any reportable discharges or damage, determine if sediment controls require maintenance, restrict traffic in sensitive work areas, and remove sediment deposited outside boundaries. Capture photographic evidence and document corrective actions for compliance and safety.
