Unless water can replenish underground aquifers, the danger remains It may seem counterintuitive, but heavy rainfall - even extreme flooding - may not end a drought or water shortage. According to the United States Geological Survey, flooding and drought are related much as medicine and illness are. A single dose of medicine may temporarily relieve symptoms, but a cure often requires a long ...
Phil Riise worries about every single particle of pollution that washes from his waterfront business, Seaview Boatyard North, into Bellingham Bay. It’s partly because he cares about the body of water, where he fishes and crabs for sport. But it’s also because just a little too much pollution could take a large financial toll on his livelihood - boatyards that don’t meet state ...
Ultratech Spill Berms Help comply with federal and local stormwater regulations, help meet EPA Container Storage Regulation 40 CFR 264.175 and SPCC requirements, Standard containment berm material of construction is Copolymer 2000™. ...
The site’s need to meet current stormwater management regulations presented the challenge of maximizing development space while incorporating new facilities. To meet the new regulations, the design incorporated best management practices (BMPs). These BMPs included some pervious pavement parking stalls and intermixed rain gardens to provide ...
Moreover, they also have passed the bar and kept in compliance thanks to meeting all of the SPCC regulations for spill containment and stormwater regulations. And while the smaller containers are shipped as they are, the larger ones are assembled upon delivery as they are much more difficult to ship due to their weight and ...
Rigid Lock Quick Berms Help meet EPA Regulations including SPCC containment and stormwater regulations. • Rigid-Lock Spill Berm is the berm with inside support technology which provides quick and easy deployment for drive-through, emergency, decontamination or preventative applications. ...

CAS DataLoggers recently provided the wastewater monitoring solution for a major airport group based in the UK whose fluid run-off threatened to endanger the aquatic ecosystem near the airports. The commercial airline needed an online device capable of monitoring toxic discharges into local rivers. The airline routinely sprayed de-icer and anti-icer solution onto their aircraft before taking off ...
In an area of town at high risk for flooding, Globeville has initiated one of the biggest infrastructure developments in the city’s history. As one of four projects under Globeville’s $300 million Platte to Park Hill plan, the Globeville Landing Outfall Project (GLO) aims to redirect stormwater and mitigate flooding in the city. This month, we sat down with Randy Reimer to discuss ...
In 1999, the MS4 program expanded beyond major metropolitan areas and the EPA began utilizing a new census term ─ urbanized areas ─ to classify additional communities that should be regulated by the program. Today, more than 80% of the nation’s population falls within an area regulated as an MS4. So, as a manufacturer of stormwater ...
Stormwater runoff, water that isn’t absorbed into the ground after a weather event, is a potential water source that cities across the world have struggled with for decades. ...
Enviroflex® is a fiber reinforced articulated concrete block for erosion control and scour protection. Following Soil Retention’s philosophy of performance of product and overall system instead of pure ease of manufacturing, Enviroflex® is cast as a tapered and vertically interlocking block (hard to make but very effective). Some flood control designers and major dam hydraulic ...
The Current Regulations NPDES Permits for Construction Sites. A program under the federal Clean Water Act called the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulates stormwater discharges from construction-related activities. ...
First things first—what does the term revetment mean in relation to erosion control? Well, revetments are like sloping walls placed just right to block or drain invading water before it can destroy a surrounding ground, like riverbanks, beaches, cliffs and man-made waterways. Containing articulated concrete, a revetment mat installation—consisting of one or more pieces—is the ...
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 ...
As with most stormwater management topics, this explanation has both a simple and a detailed answer. ...
In this paper the flow characteristics of stormwater are analyzed as it travels from a roof gutter down-pipe and the turbulent flow generated on entering an individual lot on-site stormwater detention (OSD) unit beneath a residential carport. Comparison was made between a full-scale model and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations to determine the flow characteristics. These modular ...
