Step 2: Field Verification of Candidate Sites
- Complete a ground-truth to determine if the contemplated retrofit will work
- Prepare a conceptual sketch and take photographs
- Use pre-prepared inventory forms
- Look for pollution prevention opportunities in the field
Notes:
Candidate retrofit sites from Step 1 are investigated in the field to verify that they are feasible. This field investigation involves a careful assessment of site specific information such as presence of sensitive environmental features, location of existing utilities, type of adjacent land uses, condition of receiving waters, construction and maintenance access opportunities, and most importantly, whether or not the contemplated retrofit will actually work in the specified location. Usually a conceptual sketch is prepared and photographs are taken.
