Stormwater Inspection and Management was created to aid property owners, contractors, and site managers manage the increasing complexities of stormwater permitting. Since the 1990s federal and state stormwater regulations have grown to require permits to create new systems and require regular inspection and maintenance. These services have typically been provided by engineering firms, as an afterthought, with high overhead and complex operations. Neither of which is needed for stormwater.
Stormwater Inspection and Management was specifically designed to provide these services as efficiently as possible. Operating throughout the northeastern United States, we have over 30 years of expertise in stormwater construction and long-term operation.
Stormwater runoff is generated from rain events that are not absorbed into the ground due to impervious surfaces, such as streets, parking lots, and building rooftops. Runoff picks up pollutants like sediment, chemicals, oils, trash, and dirt that impact our rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans. To protect these resources, local, county, state, and federal governments require stormwater controls, known as best management practices (BMPs). BMPs filter out and prevent pollution by controlling it before it leaves individual properties.
These BMPs need to be managed to maintain performance and meet permit criteria to prevent stormwater runoff from washing harmful pollutants into local surface waters.
