Hard surfaces like building roofs, parking lots, parking garages, roads, driveways, and sidewalks will collect large amounts of stormwater when it rains. These nonpermeable surfaces provide no opportunity for the water to soak in, diverting it instead to nearby soils and other surfaces. Not only can this cause harmful erosion, but as the water travels along these hard surfaces, it can pick up pollutants like petroleum products, pesticides, soaps, chemicals, and more, all of which can be harmful to the environment and the groundwater.
By managing stormwater effectively, the harmful effects of runoff can be reduced, and in urban areas, the abundance of nonporous surfaces and materials makes managing stormwater even more important. At iSTORMWATER, our experts will help your business design and implement an effective stormwater management solution so you will avoid future notices of violations and more stringent enforcement actions.
