DEFINITION:

Stormwater management, water quality design, post construction stormwater are all terms used and can vary by region greatly, but all imply the same meaning.  The purpose of stormwater management is to assess the post development conditions and the impacts the proposed development will have on stormwater in terms of the quality and quantity of stormwater when discharged from the site.

OUR JOB:

7 Oaks Engineering will prepare a formal report and plan that includes the design of stormwater management, typically by implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) that address water quality and water quantity.  The site geotechnical investigation report will be reviewed in detail for existing site soil conditions, infiltration rates, and any limiting factors that could exclude the implementation of certain BMPs. The stormwater design includes extensive calculations and details.
