Stormwater Control Measure Operation & Maintenance

Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs) require regular operation and maintenance to make sure they are functioning properly. If you are a private Stormwater Control Measure owner, you are required to inspect, maintain, and document the inspection and maintenance of your Stormwater Control Measure annually - view the Stormwater Management Code.

Common types of inspection and maintenance activities are:

  • Mowing, Landscaping, and Vegetation Management
  • Debris and Leaf Litter Removal
  • Sediment Removal
  • Structure Integrity
  • Water Level Inspections

The Town of Franklin has developed inspection forms to help private Stormwater Control Measure owners perform and document their annual inspections. The forms can be accessed and submitted to the Town online.
