BMP Maintenance, Monitoring and Inspection

Owners of developed properties must ensure BMPs remain functional and effective to retain their BMP Certificate and comply with the TRPA Code of Ordinances. Routine maintenance preserves the lifespan of BMPs and minimizes the potential for discharges of stormwater runoff and pollutants to Lake Tahoe.

To verify BMPs have been maintained for a commercial or multi-family parcel please submit documentation to TRPA. On receipt of documentation staff will determine if a BMP Certificate of Completion can be reissued with a new date.
