Summary:Most erosion and sediment control programs do not have the resources to effectively inspect construction activity. One solution to this problem is to place part of the burden for inspection on the development community. A program in Delaware requires some developers to hire their own inspectors . Although these inspectors are officially called the construction reviewers, they are referred to as "private inspectors."

Some guidelines on developing a similar program are also provided.
