Stormwater Management

Stormwater management is an important consideration for manufacturers, solid waste facility owners, and real estate developers alike. SCS designs and helps implement simple, effective approaches to minimizing and controlling erosion, sediment, and contaminant discharges from new construction and established facilities.

We also sample and analyze stormwater discharges to confirm compliance with government regulations, and perform routine audits to evaluate compliance with the facility Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

Regulations and site-specific permits normally designate the maximum levels of contaminants allowed for specified chemicals and inorganics. SCS has identified the required levels of water quality protection and designed modifications to comply with these requirements. 

Landfill environments present unique challenges for stormwater management systems.  Settlement, slope length, elevation drop, energy dissipation, sedimentation, and erosion control are several of the factors we consider in preparing stormwater management designs.  Specific stormwater management services provided include:

·         Erosion & sediment control plans & specifications
·         National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
     permitting
·         Stormwater pollution prevention plans
·         Stormwater monitoring plan implementation
·         Stormwater compliance inspections & reports
·         Compliance training for client personnel
