Stormwater BMP Installation, Maintenance, and Inspection Services in Alabama
Alabama's construction stormwater permit program is administered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) under General NPDES Permit ALR100000. The state's compliance framework places significant emphasis on the Qualified Credentialed Inspector (QCI) training program, developed jointly by the Home Builders Association of Alabama and ADEM, which is the recognized standard for construction site inspection personnel in Alabama. Post-construction stormwater BMP maintenance requirements are implemented through local MS4 programs, which vary by municipality and county. Exact Stormwater Management provides stormwater BMP installation, maintenance, and inspection services across Alabama, supporting commercial property owners, HOAs, contractors, and municipalities navigating both ADEM construction permit requirements and local post-construction maintenance obligations.
Regulatory Context
Alabama's stormwater program is administered by ADEM under the Alabama Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES), which operates parallel to the federal NPDES framework. Construction sites disturbing one or more acres require coverage under ADEM General Permit ALR100000 and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). ADEM's QCI training program establishes the recognized inspection credential for Alabama construction sites, and QCI-certified inspectors are the standard for construction permit compliance across the state. Post-construction BMP maintenance obligations in Alabama are primarily implemented through local MS4 programs, and maintenance documentation requirements vary by jurisdiction. Property owners managing detention ponds, bioretention cells, or other stormwater BMPs in Alabama should verify both ADEM permit requirements and their local MS4 program's specific maintenance and inspection standards. Exact provides installation, maintenance, and inspection services that address ADEM construction permit requirements and local MS4 post-construction compliance obligations throughout Alabama.

Frequently Asked Questions: Alabama Stormwater BMP Services
What is the QCI certification in Alabama?
The Qualified Credentialed Inspector (QCI) certification in Alabama is a training and certification program developed jointly by the Home Builders Association of Alabama and ADEM. QCI-certified inspectors are the recognized standard for construction site stormwater compliance under ADEM General Permit ALR100000. The certification establishes qualification for performing construction site inspections and ensuring SWPPP implementation meets ADEM standards. QCI is specific to Alabama and is the primary inspector credential recognized for construction stormwater compliance in the state.
Who inspects stormwater BMPs in Alabama?
Post-construction stormwater BMP inspections in Alabama are governed by local MS4 programs, which establish their own qualification requirements for inspection personnel. For construction sites, ADEM's QCI certification is the recognized state standard. Exact Stormwater Management provides stormwater BMP inspection and maintenance services across Alabama, with crews experienced in ADEM construction permit requirements and local MS4 post-construction standards. Call (804) 302-5151 to schedule an inspection or discuss a maintenance program.
What stormwater permit does Alabama require for construction sites?

INSTALLATION: GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
Green Infrastructure refers to a strategic approach that utilizes natural processes and systems to manage stormwater, enhance urban environments, and improve overall ecosystem health. This method emphasizes the preservation and restoration of natural landscapes while integrating them into urban design. Interventions such as rain gardens, permeable pavement, and bioswales work collectively to absorb, infiltrate, and filter stormwater runoff, reducing flooding risks and pollutant discharge into waterways.

INSTALLATION: Permeable Pavement
Permeable pavements are alternative paving surfaces that allow stormwater runoff to filter through voids in the pavement surface into an underlying stone reservoir, where it is temporarily stored and/or infiltrated. We install many types of permeable pavements from grass pavers to concrete brick-type pavers.
