[ Request a Consultation ](https://aqualisco.com/request-a-consultation/) ![Complying with a General Stormwater Permit - AQUALIS](https://aqualisco.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Existing-Conditions-Assessments.body_.jpg) ## General Stormwater Permit Requirements Is your business under a general stormwater permit or a site specific O&M manual?  If so, then you know there are multiple requirements and records that need to be kept from your SWPPP to inspections and depending on your industry, stormwater sampling and analysis.  We will design your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) around the requirements and incorporate SWPPP training into your program. All records are kept up to date so internal and external inspections/audits become an easy process.  Our team works with you to make sure you know when inspections are due and will give you reminder calls until they are completed and submitted. We even watch the weather for you and alert you when qualified rain events are coming your way. Completed forms are reviewed to make sure they are filled out completely and properly and filed in your SWPPP.  If findings are noted we follow up with Management and the SWPPP administrator to make sure the appropriate corrective actions are implemented. We’re with you at every step in the process.  ![inspecting underground pipes](https://aqualisco.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Copy_of_IMG_2645-scaled-e1699984767327.jpg) ### [Maynard, Mass.

They are designed to convey water away from urban areas. ** [**Stormwater Vaults**](https://aqualisco.com/service/stormwater-management/stormwater-systems/underground-infrastructure/stormwater-vaults/) Underground storage for collecting stormwater. Vaults have a storage capacity that regulates the flow of stormwater as it continues further downstream and off property. ** [**Catch Basins, Inlets, Grates and Manholes**](https://aqualisco.com/service/stormwater-management/stormwater-systems/underground-infrastructure/catch-basins-inlets-grates/) These assets are collection points that allow stormwater runoff to enter stormwater assets where the water can be stored. ** [**Storm Sewers and Culverts**](https://aqualisco.com/service/stormwater-management/stormwater-systems/underground-infrastructure/storm-sewers/) Underground infrastructure, also called pipelines, that convey stormwater from one place to another. ** [**Hydrodynamic Separators**](https://aqualisco.com/service/stormwater-management/stormwater-systems/underground-infrastructure/hydrodynamic-separators/) Underground systems that utilize technology and innovations to removal trash, debris, sediment and hydrocarbons from stormwater. ** [**Dry Wells**](https://aqualisco.com/service/stormwater-management/stormwater-systems/underground-infrastructure/dry-wells/) An underground SCM that allows stormwater to infiltrate back into the groundwater rather than another SCM or body of water. ** [**Proprietary Systems**](https://aqualisco.com/service/stormwater-management/stormwater-systems/underground-infrastructure/proprietary-systems/) Designed systems often retrofitted into storm sewers with storage and pollutant removal capabilities where aboveground SCM may be costly or unviable. ## [Kenosha, Wis.
