Controlling Pollution
Stormwater Control, Secondary Containment
Pollution Control is certainly one of the most challenging aspects of this cycle. There are so many different factors that influence the correct selection of site specific solutions. i.e. Location, duration, soil type, water velocities, project type, equipment, etc.

Our goal is to assist our client, regulators, engineers and consultants understand the variables and propose solutions that work. Sometimes the use of an inexpensive product like, silt fence , Staked Silt Barrier , coir wattles or mulch/compost berms work very well for sheetflow.
Then, on other occasions settling ponds or basins, secondary containment products, rolled erosion prevention products (RECP's)for small drainage canals, diversion dikes or check structures will be the norm, or perhaps a combination. Information about Stormwater Runoff in an urban setting can be found on the EPA website by following the following link.
We have found that if you can segregate your site into manageable areas, where localized controls and velocity of sheetflow can be reduced, that effects of stormwater control devices are significantly improved and lake pollution can be reduced.

For example the use of an area drain equipped with an inlet filter barrier could easily become overwhelmed with too much flow and cause a failure elsewhere, but with a series installed correctly and sized according to sediment and water volume work very well!!
This means that adequate study of the site needs to be done. Researching rainfall, sediment composition and employing the services of a certified designer and having the SWPPP reviewed is critical to avoiding a non-compliance situation.
It is very important to mention that when designers are assimilating your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, that Erosion prevention, and, Sediment and Pollution Control devices are kept separate so as to avoid confusion and make it easy to see what is working and where improvements may be required.
