The challenge was that the bioretention systems needed to fit within existing parking lot islands that did not provide enough footprint to achieve the required stormwater ponding volumes. Expanding the footprint of the BMPs would have required additional disturbance to the surrounding parking lot, potentially triggering further stormwater detention and treatment ...
Effective stormwater management for heavy rainfall requires systems that can temporarily store excess runoff and release it at controlled rates. ...
However, as rainwater flows through the landscape, it can cause erosion, flooding, and water damage. Intentional stormwater management must also incorporate plans for surface runoff. ...
Patrick Chavez, AMFACA’s Stormwater Quality Program Engineer, is responsible for developing and maintaining the Agency’s Stormwater Monitoring Program (SWMP). ...
RISA addressed intensifying conflicts in the context of urban development and stormwater management at that time. Major results of the project are improvements and recommendations for adequate consideration of stormwater management issues during urban planning as well as new funding mechanisms for stormwater management measures. ...
In the urban water cycle, there are different ways of handling stormwater runoff. Traditional systems mainly rely on underground piped, sometimes named ‘gray’ infrastructure. ...
The use of two-dimensional (2D) storm water models has increased in recent years primarily due to advances in software, hardware and the availability of surface data. These advances allow for robust and diverse applications including basinwide storm water assessments. Storm water master planning is a critical element for the development of state and local agency comprehensive plans, capital ...

A SWPPP is a detailed document describing the activities a construction-site operator takes to control erosion and sedimentation, prevent discharge of contaminated stormwater, and comply with Clean Water Act requirements. A SWPPP sometimes goes by other names: construction best practices plan; sediment and stormwater plan; ...
Global was contracted by the local Road Commission to complete the Industrial Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. All Road Commission sites are required to maintain compliance with their own Industrial Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. ...
Since 1990, construction sites larger than 5 acres and municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) serving populations over 100,000 have had to abide by the rules of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Program. This program was put in place to protect the country’s waterways from sedimentation buildup. On ...
Construction excavation and earthmoving recently got a bit more complicated as Phase II of EPAs Storm Water Final Rule went into effect this past spring. The change creates potential for rental dealers who specialize in construction equipment to capitalize on a unique opportunity. While the subject seems new to some, Phase II originated from a 1992 court decision handed down in a lawsuit against ...
This includes requirements to have a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in place to clarify how you will control pollutants in storm water runoff from your facility. ...
Challenge: Antea Group was retained to provide Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) management services for an audio equipment manufacturer in support of closure of a large manufacturing facility in the Southeastern US. Solution: Duties included waste management inspections and shipping supervision, inspections of fire suppression equipment and petroleum storage tanks, as well as Spill ...
The Puckett Downs is a townhome development in Murfreesboro, TN offering amenities like a pool, green space and eco-friendly features. This project was an expansion of the current ...
For areas that are urbanized rapidly, the practice of low impact development (LID) has gained an important place in stormwater management and urban planning due to its capability and beneficial effects in restoring the original hydrological cycle. ...
Findings showed significant reductions in stormwater runoff volume (up to 26% annually) and CSO discharge volumes (up to 43% annually) across the City under the most intensive implementation scenario. Result The research provides an innovative and powerful planning tool for stormwater management in the District. The original Green Build-Out ...
As the sales executive with an R2 & ISO-14001 certified electronics recycling, scrap purchasing, and asset management corporation, I could write all day about why I think Dynamic Recycling should be your e-recycling vendor. I would rather provide you with the appropriate information to conduct your own evaluation/analysis of what to look for in choosing a recycler that is the right fit for ...
Active Treatment and Certification To meet the stringent state stormwater run-off standards during construction of the Brightwater Conveyance and Wastewater Treatment Plant Project in Woodinville, WA one active treatment system using 1% ChitoVan Chitosan Acetate was needed. Dungeness Environmental worked alongside Northwest Construction to gain approval for CESF treatment ...
Analytical probabilistic hydrologic models (APMs) are computationally efficient producing validated storm water outputs comparable to continuous simulation for storm water planning level analyses. To date, APMs have been run as spatially lumped or semi-distributed models relying upon calibrated and spatially averaged system state variable inputs/parameters limiting model system representation and ...
The term Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) (also known as sustainable urban drainage systems; SUDS) refers to a wide range of stormwater control systems which enable the planning, design and management of stormwater to be tackled equally from water quantity, water quality and amenity perspectives (). ...
