Although state agencies typically mandate re-certification inspections every few years, more frequent evaluations by skilled staff can pinpoint issues such as flow restrictions, damage to control structures, and erosion of shorelines or ditch banks before they develop into serious problems. Early detection can significantly reduce repair costs, preventing the need for a complete system replacement and ensuring timely re-certification processes.

Additionally, consistent site inspections aid in gathering biological data, helping assess the overall health of the pond system. This includes monitoring factors like water quality, plant life, and the accumulation of organic material in the pond. The information collected during these inspections is utilized to inform ongoing management strategies or create new management plans necessary.
