Stormwater Testing
Stormwater management is now a requirement for any project that involves earth disturbance of one acre or more. The federal Clean Streams Law provides the legal foundation for water quality protection, restoration, and water resources management. Local governments implement specific regulations for stormwater management, and the Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for administering the provisions of the Act.
USA Environmental allows construction companies to maintain construction site compliance and meet their testing requirements. We can also assist with SWPPPs development to support permit coverage and stormwater documentation.
SWPPP Planning & Documentation
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a site-specific document that outlines the controls, procedures, and inspections in place to prevent pollutants from entering nearby waterways during construction.
We support contractors and developers with SWPPP development for each project’s scope and risk level. Our team ensures your SWPPP meets NPDES construction permit requirements and integrates with your erosion control and site maintenance efforts. We also help update and revise SWPPPs when site conditions change, keeping your documentation up-to-date with regulatory expectations at all times.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit
Regulations require individual land development projects to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for certain stormwater discharge activities.
USA Environmental Solutions provides sampling and the technical information that will allow your engineer to design facilities that meet the federal, state, and local constraints.
Stormwater sampling IS required during the construction phase if your site is covered under an NPDES permit for construction (which is common for 1+ acre disturbance).
Plan Ahead
Pre-construction preparedness, prevention, and contingency plans (PPCs) and stormwater collection and testing BMPs are essential for staying compliant throughout the project lifecycle. USA Environmental Solutions provides the tools, guidance, and expertise necessary to manage risk, avoid delays, and protect water quality.
We look forward to working with you to make your project a success!
