Excessive stormwater runoff from land development projects is a major cause of surface water contamination and downstream flooding. Costs for cleaning up and rebuilding flooded structures and dredging accumulated silt from stream channels can be substantial relative to environmental damage including the fishery habitats.
To manage and address these concerns the quality water standards also known as Clean Water Law uses various regulations which PDES and other Stormwater Management program to regulate stormwater runoff volume, rate and quality so not to alter the chemical, physical or biological properties of receiving waters.
Through a permitting process, the government regulatory agencies will utilize effluent limitations in the form of “best management practices”(BMPs) to regulate runoff volume rate and water quality during project construction and post-construction activities.
D-E Engineers have completed the required training for preparing stormwater management plans utilizing BMPs and are experienced with providing our clients practical, integrated, timely, and cost-effective designs. Additionally, we will assist our new client with any permit application relative stormwater and construction projects.
Depending upon where your project is located and what watershed(s) it drains to, we will work with you to ensure any regulatory agency’s requirements are meet. Our substantial Brownfields development experience we are uniquely qualified to advise our Clients how to manage stormwater on their project site without compromising the integrity of long term remedial controls.
Further, with site earthmoving project experience, we are aptly suited to assist our developer and site construction Clients with erosion and sediment control planning, implementation, and maintenance.
