SFWMD ERP O&M inspection & recertification
Every ERP-permitted property in South Florida carries lifetime O&M obligations. We perform the recurring inspection under Florida's June 28, 2025 qualified-inspector rule and certify on state form 62-330.311. Because we also do the vactor cleaning and repairs, we close the compliance loop with one vendor.
Who this applies to
Many HOA communities, commercial sites, industrial properties, and mixed-use developments built in South Florida since the 1980s operate under an ERP issued by SFWMD, or delegated to DEP or a local government. Permit status is property specific, so we check the records before telling you what applies. Where a permit exists, it names the O&M entity, usually the HOA, condo association, or property owner, and lists the inspection frequency.
What we inspect
- Wet-detention and dry-retention ponds: control elevation, littoral shelf, sediment depth, bank condition
- Catch basins, manholes, and inlet structures
- Control structures: weirs, orifices, skimmers
- Outfalls to canals or receiving waters
- Baffle boxes and pretreatment units
- Exfiltration trenches and French drains
- Swales and conveyance features
Report and re-certification
You receive a signed report on Florida state form 62-330.311, with photos of every component, a deficiency list, and a fixed-price corrective scope. When corrective work is completed, we re-inspect and certify substantial conformance to the permit.

Send us the property and we will review the drainage system and the operation and maintenance records with you, then quote any corrective work in writing. We are a contractor, not the permitting agency, so we cannot approve or issue anything for the district. What we can do is get the system and the paperwork into the shape the permit describes, on one mobilization.
