Online Self-Inspection and Self-Reporting (SISR) makes it easy for property owners and managers to report, track, share, and store inspection and maintenance records for stormwater best management practices (BMPs).
Property owners with a DOEE-approved stormwater management plan (SWMP) are required to periodically inspect and maintain their stormwater BMPs to keep them in good working order. They must also provide current maintenance documentation to DOEE upon request.
