Storm drain and catch basin cleaning are critical components to keeping local waterways clear. Best management practices should be incorporated into standard operating procedures to ensure performance objectives are met and to ensure the safety of the work crew performing the cleaning and the general public.  It is important to know the purpose of the cleaning, which is typically one of the following: Emergency   — The requirement is to remove or relieve a blockage to prevent stormwater overflow, backup, noncompliance and property damage. Routine maintenance  — The requirement is to maintain the hydraulic handling capacity of the storm sewer system, as well as prevent point source pollution from entering a waterway. New construction  — The purpose of cleaning new construction storm drainage systems is to remove any sediment or debris that mats have accumulated in a new system during the construction process.  Once crews determine the reason for cleaning, it’s i

What is Storm Water | AllStormDrains.com

WHAT IS STORM WATER? Storm water (or polluted runoff) is rain or melting snow that flows over the ground. In urban or developed areas, storm water runs over pavement and parking lots, picking up oil and other pollutants before flowing into a nearby river or stream. In more natural areas including forests and wetlands, storm water can soak into the ground, or be stored and filtered. WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF “IMPERVIOUS SURFACES”? Impervious surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and roofs associated with sprawling urban development significantly change natural river flow patterns and the recharge of underground water supplies. Rainfall cannot soak into the ground through these surfaces and thus does not replenish groundwater supplies. Impervious surfaces also increase the amount and speed of water entering rivers and other water bodies. The result is an increase in the severity and frequency of floods, the displacement and destruction of habitat for fish and other water

Catch Basin Repair & Storm Water Management A  catch basin  or  storm drain  is an inlet to the storm drain system that typically includes a grate or curb inlet where stormwater enters the catch basin and a sump to capture sediment, debris and associated pollutants. They are also used in combined sewer watersheds to capture floatables and settle some solids.  Catch basins  act as pretreatment for other treatment practices by capturing large sediments throughout the  Nassau & Suffolk County Long Island  area. The performance of  catch basins  at removing sediment and other pollutants depends on the design of the catch basin (e.g., the size of the sump), and routine maintenance to retain the storage available in the sump to capture sediment. Applicability  catch basins  are used in drainage systems throughout the United States. However, many  catch basins  are not designed for sediment and pollutant capture. Ideal application of  catch basins  is as pretreatment to a
