ABOUT US SERVICES PROJECTS MEDIA CONTACT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Stormwater is a leading source of water pollution in the U.S. Stormwater runoff is created when rain or snow melts on surfaces that cannot or do not absorb it (e.g. streets, sidewalks, lawns on compact soil). As the precipitation runs over these surfaces, it accumulates pollutants such as debris, sediment and chemicals. If not managed correctly, they can compromise the quality of water in lakes, rivers and coastal areas. Runoff from construction sites can be especially harmful. Stormwater pollution poses such a threat that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency instituted standards for stormwater management in areas that are established and developed. EFFICIENT POLLUTION PREVENTION ENCAP, Inc. offers expertise in controlling stormwater discharge through best management practices (BMPs) including management and review of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for residential, commercial and industrial developments. A SWPPP outlines all efforts to prevent stormwater contamination and comply with the EPA’s Clean Water Act.
