Managing several associations? The Property Manager License ($399/yr) lets you use HydroSteward kits across up to 25 client associations, with kit updates for the year.
Get the licenseNo. It's an organizational aid. Your requirements come from your own State Stormwater Permit, recorded O&M Agreement, and approved plans. The kit helps you find, track, and document them.
That depends on your permit. Check your permit document. The kit has a place to record any annual requirement and its due date.
The checklists are built around general NC requirements, and the recordkeeping tools work in SC too. SC associations should confirm details with SCDES and their local MS4.
Board members or managers can use the checklist for routine observations. For anything structural, or if your permit requires it, hire a qualified professional.
