Stormwater Management Services
Stormwater management is the control of potentially dangerous stormwater runoff that offsets damage to the environment and surrounding properties. Conventional stormwater management focused on quickly ushering stormwater through a network of pipes to an offsite location. As time has progressed, however, there has been a shift to green thinking that places more emphasis on preserving the environment and our natural resources. This being the case, current stormwater management protocol encourages reducing the rate and volume of pollutants in runoff as well as establishing filtration and control procedures when it comes to managing runoff generated on various facilities’ sites.
Since the EPA’s Clean Water Act was enacted in 1987, federal and state regulations have been adopted that enforce modern stormwater management techniques to prevent non-point source pollution. Further, the overarching goal of stormwater management is to ensure facilities in numerous industries address environmental concerns with calculated site design and planning that maintains and/or restores the predevelopment hydrology of their property. An example of an effective stormwater management technique is Low Impact Development, which utilizes small-scale controls by filtering, storing and detaining runoff close to the source. Here at Containment & Filtration Solutions, we are proud to offer EPA-friendly stormwater management products that protect sites from incurring non-compliance fines while protecting the environment.
