About the PRIDE BMP Ratings

The PRIDE BMP Ratings Report is an interactive tool provided by James City County's Environmental Division to make it easy for interested residents to check on the "health" of hundreds of BMPs (Best Management Practices) throughout the County.

The PRIDE BMP Ratings Report is a compilation of surveys of BMPs in James City County conducted regularly per environmental requirements. BMPs are assessed by County staff and the information is updated in the PRIDE database.Neighborhoods can EARN PRIDE watershed designation by enhancing or improving their BMP facility beyond it’s current design level of service or by exceeding County standards for BMP maintenance beyond normal maintenance obligations. Residents who find their neighborhood stormwater management/BMP is not up to standard are urged contact the appropriate homeowners association or BMP landowner.BMP stormwater facilites are evaluated based on a set of criteria specific to the type of BMP and the function it serves. To learn more about the types of BMPs, see ABOUT BMPs. Select the type below to see the list of criteria used:
