Groundwater Services

Groundwater withdrawal permitting may be required if groundwater withdrawal rates exceed regulatory thresholds. These types of withdrawal permits are typically associated with golf courses, irrigation needs, water supplies, and other high water use applications. A withdrawal permit is always required for these high water use applications. Environmental issues associated with groundwater withdrawals may include disposal issues, as well as withdrawal permitting. Groundwater withdrawals are commonplace, especially where the groundwater table is shallow. Shallow groundwater can require dewatering efforts during construction activities such as foundation excavations, construction of storm water facilities, and installation of pipeline trenches as well as other below grade structures.
