NPDES Construction Stormwater

Expert Solutions for Construction Stormwater Compliance

At Riverbend Environmental, we specialize in providing comprehensive management services for construction sites under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction Stormwater regulations. Our goal is to ensure your construction project adheres to all environmental regulations, safeguarding local waterways from stormwater-related pollution.

Understanding NPDES Construction Stormwater Regulations

The NPDES Construction Stormwater program requires construction site operators engaged in clearing, grading, and excavating activities that disturb one acre or more to obtain permit coverage for discharging stormwater runoff. This program aims to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff and protect our water resources.

Our Construction Stormwater Management Services

1. Permit Acquisition and Compliance:  Riverbend Environmental assists in obtaining the necessary permits for your construction project. We ensure that your site complies with all the conditions of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit and local land disturbance permits.

2. Site Inspections and Monitoring: Regular site inspections and monitoring are a requirement of the permit and are crucial for compliance. Our team conducts thorough inspections to identify potential issues and ensure that best management practices (BMPs) are effectively implemented and maintained.

3. Stormwater Discharge Sampling: The permit requires the sampling of discharge from permitted construction sites. Our team can perform this water sampling in accordance with permit requirements, as well as offer advice to allow sites to meet the discharge limits as required by the permit.

4. Training and Employee Education: Educating your workforce is key to compliance. Georgia law requires that at least one Level 1A certified person is on site at all times that land disturbing activity is underway. We provide training for Level 1A certification as well as sessions on BMPs maintenance, regulatory requirements, and the importance of compliance when conducting construction activities.

5. Erosion and Sediment Control Troubleshooting: Conditions on the ground throughout the life of a project often dictate that the ESPCP be revised to address problems that weren’t anticipated during the pre-construction ESPCP development phase. Our years of boots on the ground experience can assist in dealing with problem areas to minimize the impact of construction activities on stormwater quality and protect against regulatory action.

6. Reporting and Documentation: Accurate documentation and reporting are vital for regulatory compliance. Riverbend Environmental manages all necessary records, reports, and documentation related to your construction site’s stormwater management.
