Why Should I Comply With Stormwater Regulations?
When it rains, it pours, especially if your stormwater system is out of compliance.
Stormwater runoff collects debris and pollutants from non-pervious surfaces like parking lots before depositing into stormwater assets like underground storm pipes, catch basins or drains. To keep pollutants to a minimum and to protect local water bodies, the EPA and local municipalities in the Northeast monitor private and public systems. If your system is out of compliance or missing required documentation you could be facing hefty fines as well as costly repairs to rehab your stormwater system.
