Storm Water Compliance
The stormwater quality permit is a necessary requirement under the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) mandated by the State of Texas. This permit is essential for any development that qualifies as 'new development' or 'significant redevelopment,' and it is aligned with the NPDES Construction General Permit regulations, which also emphasize the importance of effective stormwater management plans.
Storm Water Quality Management Plans
Integrated Eco Solutions offers comprehensive turnkey plan development that includes initial design support, narrative development, and the compilation of exhibits and permit documents for the NPDES Construction General Permit. We assist with real property filings, plan submission, and as-built certification, ensuring that all stormwater management plans and stormwater quality permit requirements are met. This level of support alleviates the burden from our clients, allowing them to concentrate on project design and construction.
Inspections and Certification
Once the project stormwater quality permit is complete, and the permit renewal date is set, ongoing annual inspections and certifications must be conducted by a registered professional engineer. IES will contract with owners to ensure all aspects of this process are managed, including verifying the current NPDES Construction General Permit status, reviewing stormwater management plans, completing structural control inspections and reports, performing maintenance and/or repairs, obtaining the engineer’s annual certification, filing all necessary paperwork, and paying permit fees.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans
Stormwater runoff from construction activities can significantly impact water quality. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it collects pollutants such as sediment, debris, and chemicals, which are then deposited into creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes. To manage this, obtaining an NPDES Construction General Permit is essential for authorizing this discharge. Integrated Eco Solutions is here to assist you in acquiring your stormwater quality permit, performing routine inspections, and developing comprehensive stormwater management plans (SWPPPs). We will identify cost-effective Best Management Practices (BMPs) and engineer both short and long-term stormwater management systems, including drainage controls, piping, treatment facilities, and erosion controls.
