Stormwater O&M and good housekeeping software for MS4 programs.

Operations and maintenance work covers a long list of assets that quietly keep the stormwater system functioning. Catch basins that need to be cleaned before they overflow. Ponds with sediment loads that affect treatment performance. Bioswales and biofilters that need vegetation management. Oil-water separators with pump-out schedules. The public works yard itself, with its outdoor storage, fueling, and equipment washing.

The hard part is rarely the maintenance. The hard part is keeping the inspection-to-maintenance chain on one record per asset, so a future reader can see when the structure was last inspected, when it was last cleaned, what was found, and what disposal method was used.

Catch basin and drainage structure inspections are some of the most repetitive records a program keeps. The work is real, but the chain across years is where most programs lose track. NPDESTracker holds the structure as a record with its own ID, its location on the map, and its full inspection history. The next inspection adds to the timeline; the last-cleaned date and sediment depth at last visit are visible at the top of the record.

When sediment depth crosses a program threshold, a vactor truck request can be created as a task linked to the structure record. Disposal method and pumped volume get recorded when the work is done. A working overview of how that fits day-to-day is on the catch basin and drainage structure inspections post.

Counts of catch basins inspected and cleaned, pond inspections completed, separator pump-outs, and municipal facility inspections come from the records, not from a number a coordinator types in. Disposal volumes and methods, where the program tracks them, roll up alongside. The full annual reporting story is on the reporting page, and the evidence side is on the evidence tracking page.

Inside the annual report workspace, Smart Draft is an assistive drafting feature that pulls from the linked O&M records to help start a narrative answer. A coordinator reads the draft, confirms the totals, edits anything that needs judgment, and saves the final language. Smart Draft does not submit, certify, lock, or replace staff review.

NPDESTracker does not submit annual reports to any state or federal agency. The submission step stays with the human at the agency, on the agency's submission channel.
