Whether human activity is the cause of climate change or not, recent history is pointing to an increase in turbulent weather. This coupled with a heightened awareness of pollution prevention in our rivers and streams makes storm water management an important element of civil engineering design today. Planning by the Arc Design team integrates multiple low cost features such as infiltration, vegetative filters, increased detention and settlement times, velocity controls and storm water volume management. Municipal, county and state governments have regulate much of this design work. Creativity and innovation play a role however in meeting the various regulations controlling these design elements.

Your Arc Design Resources team is ready to help you find an efficient system to protect your investment while carefully navigating the regulatory maze of storm water management. Our staff has certified flood plain managers and trained professional engineers to lead the way to a compliant project.

An abbreviated list of regulatory agencies with which we have direct storm water management experience:

• United States Army Corps of Engineers
• Departments of Natural Resources, IL, IA, WI, MI, MO, IN
• Soil and Water Conservation Districts
• Department of Transportation, IL, IA, WI

Our team is also equipped to help you secure your site construction permits through the detailed preparation of a storm water pollution prevention plan. The documents, commonly known as SWPPPs are set up to include the core of most state general permits regulation construction site activity and storm water discharges.
