Stormwater runoff occurs when precipitation from rain flows over the ground. Impervious surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and streets prevent stormwater from naturally soaking into the ground.
Stormwater can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt, bacteria, and other pollutants, which can enter a storm drain and flow directly to a lake, stream, river, or coastal water. All facilities must implement control measures to minimize pollutants in stormwater, and routinely sample their stormwater to measure the effectiveness of their mitigation efforts.
Prior to your sampling event, Rogers & Callcott will provide the sample containers with the required preservative, chains of custody, and shipping containers (if needed). You can arrange to have us pick up your samples or you can have one of your employees deliver them to our laboratory, where we have experienced staff ready to receive and analyze your stormwater samples.
