FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about Rain Event Tracker. Can't find an answer? Contact us.

What is Rain Event Tracker?+

Rain Event Tracker is SWPPP compliance software that automates the busywork — tracking rain events, triggering inspections, and compiling reports — to keep every job site audit-ready all year.

Where does the weather data come from?+

All weather data comes straight from NOAA — the authoritative data source. Each site pairs with its nearest NOAA station for real-time precipitation updates.

How do rain-event notifications work?+

You set a rainfall threshold for each site based on your permit requirements. The moment NOAA data shows a site has crossed its threshold, the team members you've selected are notified instantly — so inspections happen on time, every time.

How does AI photo analysis work?+

During an inspection, photograph any BMP with your phone. The AI identifies the practice, flags deficiencies and maintenance triggers, and drafts a report-ready finding. Nothing enters your report until you review and approve it — you stay in control of every record.

What devices does it work on?+

Rain Event Tracker runs on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. Inspectors complete digital forms in the field while managers monitor every site from the office, all in the same system.

How does the free trial work?+

Every option includes a free 30-day trial for the first user, with full platform access. Test drive the platform risk free, and cancel anytime.

Can I add users to my account later?+

Yes. Start with one user and add additional Management or Standard users once your account is created. A Standard user includes everything in Management except the team management feature.

Who uses Rain Event Tracker?+

Construction general contractors (GCs), builders, compliance consultants, municipalities and public works departments, environmental and SWPPP consultants, and field inspectors — anyone managing OSHA, industrial, or construction SWPPP who needs to track requirements and keep records audit-ready.

How does annual reporting work?+

Key information — rain events, inspections, findings, and corrective actions — is tracked and organized all year long, so your records stay complete and export-ready. When it's time to file, the optional Annual Report Assistance add-on streamlines the annual report itself — from deficiency summaries to quick-view sampling data.
