Storm Water Management

Storm water management involves managing both the quantity and quality of runoff. SynTerra is recognized for creative, practical approaches to both situations. Whether developing site grading and erosion control plans or preparing Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) for industrial facilities, we bring knowledge of both changing regulations and new technologies. Our experience includes writing SWPPPs for numerous industrial facilities, providing the civil design work for residential communities, new plant sites and industrial parks, and supporting increasingly frequent litigation.

SynTerra is also a partner with Woolpert, LLC during the ten-year implementation of the Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) NPDES Storm Water Permit for the County of Greenville, SC. As part of this project team, SynTerra personnel have assisted with County ordinance adoption, engineering design manual editing, field inventory and screening of watersheds, industrial user surveys/site visits and training classes, as well as facilitating dialogue with the stakeholders of the community.

For site development, SynTerra develops Storm Water Management and Erosion Control plans for local or state permits. We have experience with environmentally sensitive mountain and lakefront resort developments, as well as subdivisions, golf courses, shopping centers, churches, and schools.

Storm Water Projects

Innovative storm water management ranges from blending detention areas into natural site development and the use of vegetated buffer zones to the location of subgrade detention beneath parking lots and playgrounds. We have in-house wetlands delineation capabilities to provide site sensitive planning. Project experience ranges from the North Carolina mountains to the sea islands of South Carolina and west to Alabama.

Regulatory Compliance

SynTerra staff maintain regular communication with state and local regulatory agencies. Our staff are able to provide technical opinions on the applicability of new and existing regulations related to storm water management issues.
