Managing water quality impacts.

Managing stormwater is all about quantity and quality. Municipalities want to control the quantity to minimize the impact on communities and ecosystems. Likewise, they need to manage the cost of meeting water quality demands required by regulations.

Our Approach

Malcolm Pirnie understands that comprehensive stormwater management must be cost-effective and watershed-based — tailored to the specific characteristics of the watershed, and integrating the activities of the watershed (e.g., CSOs, SSOs, agricultural uses) to ensure that nothing is overlooked.

Our approach to developing solutions that fit your requirements revolves around the view that stormwater is a resource — an asset to be managed — for reuse, irrigation, or environmental features such as wetlands, and linked to coordinated management of ground and surface water. This might involve evaluating the capture of flood waters to be used for water supply needs, or implementing corrective actions to reduce nonpoint-source pollution or to restore stream habitat.

The result is a solution that involves stakeholder participation, public education, and community involvement to ensure that your stormwater management practices are successful and sustainable.
