Received a Stormwater Notice of Violation?
A Notice of Violation means the clock is running. Most carry a short deadline to correct the problem, and fines can grow for every day the site stays out of compliance. Exact clears stormwater violations fast. Our certified inspectors document what failed, we make the BMP repairs, and we give you the paperwork to close out the notice with your regulator. If you just failed an inspection and want to get ahead of a violation, we can help there too.
On a deadline to clear a violation? Call (804) 302-5151 and send us your notice for a same-day response.
What to do when you receive a stormwater Notice of Violation
- Read the notice for the correction deadline and the specific deficiencies cited.
- Do not wait for the deadline to act. Corrective work plus documentation takes time, and regulators expect visible progress.
- Get a certified inspection that maps every cited item to a fix.
- Complete the BMP repairs and keep dated records and photos.
- Submit the corrective-action documentation to close the notice.
Exact handles the inspection, the repairs, and the documentation, and we coordinate directly with your regulator when that helps move things along.
Failed a stormwater or pond inspection?
A failed inspection is your warning before a violation. Fixing it now is faster and cheaper than clearing an NOV later. We inspect the flagged BMPs, tell you plainly what needs to happen, complete the maintenance or repair, and give you a clean inspection record for your files.
Stormwater compliance inspection and BMP repair
Exact provides certified stormwater compliance inspections and the BMP maintenance and repair that follows. We work on detention and retention ponds, wet ponds, bioretention, sand and cartridge filters, hydrodynamic separators, and underground detention. If you need ongoing coverage so violations never happen in the first place, see our stormwater BMP maintenance and inspection services and ask about an annual maintenance plan.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to fix a stormwater Notice of Violation? Deadlines vary by regulator and by how serious the violation is, and many run about 10 to 30 days. Read your specific notice, and start corrective work right away rather than waiting for the deadline.
What happens if I ignore a stormwater Notice of Violation? Fines can accrue for each day the site stays out of compliance, and unresolved violations can escalate to larger enforcement actions or affect your permit. Acting quickly is the cheapest path.
How fast can Exact fix a failed inspection or violation? We prioritize NOV and failed-inspection work. After a certified inspection we schedule the BMP repairs and provide the documentation to close out the notice.
How often are stormwater BMPs required to be inspected? Most permits require at least an annual inspection, and some MS4 programs require more. Your state page has the specifics for Virginia, Florida, and Georgia.
Do you provide the documentation to close out the violation? Yes. We provide a certified inspection report, records and photos of the corrective work, and coordinate with your regulator when that helps close the notice.
