Sediment and erosion control has quickly become an important component of every construction project. Due to recent changes in storm water permitting requirements at both the State and Federal government levels, compliance with storm water regulations has become mandatory. With more and more emphasis being placed on environmental awareness and water quality protection, storm water regulations are more stringent and encompassing than ever. With the focus on environmental compliance becoming more evident, it is imperative that anyone who is engaged in land disturbing activities know exactly what is required of them from the conceptual stages of a project through the final closeout of the project. A lack of compliance can lead to devastating fines and possibly imprisonment.

When considering the amount of time and effort that is put forth into a development, whether commercial or residential, it is impossible for one individual or a group of individuals to keep construction on the right track and keep up with the environmental compliance requirements surrounding the project. To get your project completed while maintaining compliance with any and all permit conditions you need to develop an interactive relationship with your storm water site inspector. Carolina Storm Water Services, LLC is a well equipped company that specializes in site evaluations, inspections, and full compliance of any type of construction project. We provide this service for civil and environmental engineering firms, developers, private land owners and government agencies. Our goal is to assure every one of our clients that their land disturbing activities are being performed in accordance with permit conditions. In doing so, not only will our clients avoid costly fines and unnecessary delays but they will be protecting water quality in South Carolina.

Every construction project has specific needs. We are focused on providing top-notch services to address those needs. We can provide every service related to construction site storm water runoff, erosion prevention, and sediment control. We are ready and willing to do what it takes to earn your business and become your compliance companion. Couple this with our knowledge and experience and you can clearly see how we can save you time and money while preventing you from worrying about your compliance needs.

Storm water compliance has now become a very critical aspect of all construction projects. Most engineering firms, contractors, and developers simply do not have the manpower and resources to conduct the required weekly site inspections, much less offer services such as preliminary site evaluations, assistance with maintenance of storm water management and sediment control devices, and conducting preconstruction conferences and site meetings. Our staff of experienced personnel are knowledgeable of the storm water permitting requirements in South Carolina and we are ready to provide our services for you today.

omplaint Resolution

No matter how well a construction site is designed, maintained, and monitored, sometimes Mother Nature will toss a storm event your way that your Best Management Practices can not or are not designed to handle. Most regulations require that storm water management and sediment and erosion control devices be designed to handle the 2 and 10-year, 24 hour rainfall events. However, a typical summertime thunderstorm or a tropical weather system can dump several inches of rain on your site in a very short amount of time. On occasion, this type of situation may overload your BMPs and storm water devices, therefore creating potential problems both on and offsite. In situations like this, we will have documentation to provide to any citizen or regulatory inquiry showing that the site has been inspected and maintained in accordance with the regulations that are in place.

If it can be proven that your site has been inspected every week and that the proper maintenance has been performed prior to excessive rainfall events, then you can rest assured that regulatory agencies will have a much more difficult time taking enforcement action against you than if you were not able to provide this documentation. With our continual site monitoring, our clients can be assured that we will notify them of any necessary corrective actions which may need to be taken to protect their site, water quality and adjacent property. We will stand beside our clients until any and all disputes with third parties and regulatory agencies are resolved.
