Job Description

A Stream Restoration Inspector is a professional responsible for overseeing and ensuring the proper implementation of stream restoration projects. These projects are aimed at improving the health and stability of natural watercourses, which may have been degraded by pollution, erosion, or human activities.

Here are the main responsibilities of a Stream Restoration Inspector:

 1. Site Inspection: They conduct regular inspections of restoration sites to ensure that the work is progressing according to the design specifications, permits, and environmental regulations.

 2. Monitoring Compliance: They check that the contractors are complying with local, state, and federal regulations related to water quality, sediment control, and environmental protection.

 3. Erosion Control: Inspectors ensure that erosion and sediment control measures (like silt fences or sediment basins) are installed and maintained properly to protect the surrounding environment.

 4. Construction Oversight: They oversee construction activities, such as grading, plantings, and in-stream structure installation, to ensure that the natural stream functions are restored effectively.

 5. Reporting: They document progress, issues, and any corrective actions needed, often providing reports to local authorities, environmental agencies, or other stakeholders involved in the project.

 6. Post-Construction Monitoring: After a project is completed, they might be involved in long-term monitoring of the site to track the effectiveness of the restoration and address any further environmental concerns.

The role is often a blend of environmental science, engineering, and project management skills, aimed at preserving ecosystems and improving water quality.
