STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
LTE has been a leader in providing comprehensive construction stormwater compliance and industrial stormwater compliance services nationwide for oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation, and residential and commercial development clients. The core of good stormwater management is permitting, compliance, Best Management Practices (BMPs), and inspections.
Construction Stormwater Compliance
All LTE stormwater construction managers are certified Erosion Control Supervisors and are knowledgeable in hydrology, soils, wetlands, and erosion/sediment control, and are experienced with the proper installation techniques, maintenance, and inspection of structural and non-structural BMPs. LTE administers all aspects of construction stormwater management, including:
- Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) preparation and updating
- Permit administration, including EPA, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and MS4 permitting, COGCC and regulatory compliance
- Routine and post storm event inspections and reporting
- Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and civil design drawings for drainage improvements
- BMP design performed or supervised by licensed Professional Engineer
- BMP installations, maintenance and removals, including culverts, slope drains, sediment traps/basins, rolled erosion control products, and others
- Program/peer reviews, third party audits, and stormwater training
- Promotion of synergistic coordination of owner/operators, contractors, and regulators
Once construction is complete, LTE’s goal is to stabilize the site as quickly as possible to minimize BMP inspection and maintenance costs and to ultimately relieve our client of these responsibilities by transferring, re-assigning, inactivating, or closing out the relevant permits.
