It is DownStream Services, Inc.'s pledge to ensure the environmental integrity of our community's stormwater conveyance systems by addressing pollution prevention. Federal, State, and local regulations require stormwater conveyance systems to be maintained and serviced on a recurring basis. These laws were established to ensure the systems are effectively removing contaminants from the stormwater runoff, thereby preventing pollution from entering into our waterways. DownStream Services, Inc. has dedicated a separate division to developing and implementing Preventative Maintenance Programs (PMP) to guarantee NPDES compliance of all forms of stormwater treatment systems. Integrating effective Best Management Practices (BMPs), our Certified Professionals in Erosion and Sediment Control will customize a program to include the following:
 |
Assessment of the Stormwater Conveyance System |
|
BMP Recommendations and Guidelines |

Proper installations and scheduled maintenance of erosion control measures are key to the success of stormwater conveyance system. DownStream Services, Inc. has teamed with Kristar Enterprises, Inc., a manufacturer of stormwater management products, to distribute a wide variety of pre and post construction BMPs as an additional service to our clients.
The cleaning of stormwater conveyances systems may generate wastewater and debris which is considered "Regulated Waste Discharge." It may contain contaminates such as paint, oil, fuel, and other pollutants. Federal law requires that all "collected" discharge from a cleaning operation be sampled and tested to profile and characterize the waste for final disposal. DownStream Services, Inc. is licensed to manage, transport, and dispose of "Regulated Waste" and will follow chain of custody procedures to insure proper compliance with the appropriate disposal facility.
