A 40-acre site on the Professional plan would start at $595 + $250 = $845/week.

Compliance+ add-on

$299 per month per site. Automatic rain event tracking and inspection scheduling for sites where the 24-hour trigger is the primary compliance risk.

  • Automatic weather monitoring tied to permit rainfall threshold (0.5 inches)
  • Inspection scheduled automatically after a qualifying rainfall event
  • Email and text notifications when a rain event inspection is triggered
  • Rainfall history log
  • Compliance calendar showing inspection dates and rain events
  • Discounted rain event inspections: $225 per event (vs. $325 standard)

For sites with active grading where rain event violations are the most likely compliance issue, Compliance+ converts the 24-hour inspection requirement into an automated workflow rather than a manual response.

Rain event inspections

Available on-demand for any active NPDES-permitted site, regardless of plan.

  • Standard (no active plan): starting at $325 per event
  • Compliance+ customers: starting at $225 per event

Rain event inspections are available same-day for sites in Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee counties. Deliverables within 24 hours of the flight.

Additional inspection triggers

BMP inspections outside the weekly schedule are available at the per-event rate for:

  • Qualifying rainfall events (0.5 inches or greater in 24 hours)
  • Before a scheduled SCDHEC inspection
  • After BMP repair or reinstallation
  • Major construction phase changes (clearing complete, grading complete, building start)
  • Complaint investigation or sediment release documentation
  • Project closeout and final stabilization documentation

Pricing notes

All pricing is per site. Final pricing may be adjusted for travel distance beyond standard service area, restricted airspace requiring additional coordination, or site complexity. Sites over 100 acres or with unusual access requirements are quoted individually.

For SWPPP consultants managing multiple active sites, the Enterprise plan includes multi-site management and custom reporting. For consultant-specific pricing and scheduling, see drone inspection support for SWPPP consultants.
