Stormwater Management and Compliance

If everyone would maintain their stormwater devices we would see a huge reduction in the amount of pollution that ends up in our lakes, rivers and oceans.

Dec. 31, 2008 - PRLog -- One of the largest contributors of pollution to our waters is, more than likely, stormwater and urban runoff.  Based on Federal and State statutes including Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act, cities are requiring point source discharges of pollutants into waters of the US be regulated by a NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit.

Cities throughout California are sending out NPDES Inspectors to business owners of manufacturing and industrial facilities, distribution centers, restaurants, vehicle repair and gas stations to enforce compliance to the State Permit.  Many owners are now being required to show proof that they are maintaining their storm drains on a regular basis.  Some have begun receiving letters from City Stormwater Coordinators and face the possibility of stiff fines for non-compliance.  Unfortunately, many business owners are not aware of EPA Stormwater regulations or where to go for help to meet the strict requirements.

The good news is frustrated business owners and property managers can now get the help they need with a company well equipped to provide NPDES compliance assistance.  Stormwater Maintenance Company will install new storm drain filters and provide full service maintenance of the storm drains.  This company will also provide the proper documentation owners need to prove they are meeting the permit requirements.

We need to stop polluted rainwater from reaching our oceans and watersheds.  It is our collective responsibility to maintain the future of our waters.    To get help with compliance to stormwater regulations and avoid the possibility of stiff fines visit:
