SUBSURFACE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Effective stormwater management has become essential due to increased
land development over the past several decades. Accompanying this
trend is a greater sensitivity to three major environmental concerns:
 1.
Quantity of Stormwater
When municipal systems are overburdened with large quantities of
stormwater, not only can flooding result, but harmful effluent can
leach into nearby watercourses, affecting water quality, the ecology,
and public health. Managing stormwater runoff with onsite treatment
not only protects our environment and human health, it also helps
reduce the need for costly infrastructure improvements.
2. Optimizing Land Use
Property developers are challenged to find the common ground between
optimal site development, compliance with regulatory requests, and
environmental conservation.
3. Quality of Stormwater Runoff
As rainwater flows across paved areas, it picks up various
contaminants including heavy metals, oils, sediment and debris. When
these flows are directed straight to municipal or natural systems they
threaten public health and safety and contribute to the degradation of
surface and subsurface groundwater. Chambers take advantage
of the soil's inherent filtration and renovation capabilities.
This approach to managing stormwater is based on the
application of subsurface chamber technology for retention and
detention of runoff. Underground stormwater management provides the
best solution as it allows for efficient land use and design
flexibility while providing significant environmental benefits.
