Stormwater Management

Stormwater management projects performed by Resource Controls have included the full range of engineering services needed to map, analyze, collect, treat and dispose of stormwater emanating from a wide range of facilities that include undeveloped land, cities and down town areas, subdivisions, industrial complexes and many other commercial settings. Resource Controls has also completed extensive engineering design of compliance strategies for complying with the current Rhode Island Stormwater Design and Installation Standards Manual, as well as the 2008 Massachusetts Stormwater Management Standards and the EPA Multisector Permit.

As development and population growth increases so does the amount of impervious surface in urban areas. Consequently, the issue of storm water collection is becoming more critical. Many of the existing systems in the Northeastern United States are a hundred years old and are both inadequately sized and in need of repair. We have field inspected many miles of drains and sewers in support of rehabilitation of storm water systems and designed new collection and disposal networks for several communities as well as undertaken Best Management Practice (BMP) design and management. A good example of a drain rehabilitation project included extensive video and field inspection of a storm drain system for an 18-acre industrial facility that culminated in the design of new storm water collection and waste treatment BMPs.

Proper stormwater management is essential for pollution control purposes. A solid understanding of stormwater management regulations and industry standards is critical for the proper planning and successful permitting of any project that includes stormwater issues. Resource Controls’ stormwater specialists have conducted a wide range of hydrologic and hydraulic, and stormwater quality investigations and control programs. Resource Controls also offers full service stormwater permitting for industrial plant operations and construction activities. Resource Controls’ storm water management experience includes:

Stormwater analysis and computer modeling using HydroFlow, HydroCAD and AutoCAD Land Desktop
Design of stormwater treatment systems which utilize BMP’s, such as solids control systems, storm water detention, infiltration systems, constructed wetlands, and biofilters
Preparation of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for industrial operations, as well as construction activities
Notices of Intent (NOI) submittals required under federal and state stormwater permits
Vortex system design
LID stormwater management systems
Preparation of Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans and Facility Response Plans (FRP’s) related to stormwater and spill control
Land use planning
Soil Analysis for determination of assimilative capacity of the site
Stormwater sampling and analysis
Quarterly and annual facility inspections
Personnel training
Design of collection and treatment systems
Grading and surface treatments
Erosion control programs
