Stormwater Inspectors

The City of La Vergne has stormwater inspectors that periodically inspect Erosion Control and Sediment Prevention at construction sites to ensure that contractors have installed and maintain their erosion and sediment controls properly.
For more Best Management Practices (BMP) related to construction sites, please refer to the EPA Stormwater Discharge from Construction Activities.
