Storm Water Management
Federal, state, and local storm water management programs have
one common goal: to improve water quality by reducing the pollutants
contained in storm water discharges. Summit's main objective in
meeting this goal is to assist the client with meeting current
and future discharge liabilities; conforming to current federal,
state, and local regulations; and completing the state and federal
permitting process.
Summit's Storm Water Management program is designed to help
our clients manage the risks associated with potential environmental
liabilities by observing current site conditions and by employing
Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce the amount of pollution
entering air, soil, surface water, or groundwater. Our patented
RealFlow® technology
is also available to provide real-time monitoring and operation
of storm water systems.
