Emergency Response

AQUALIS stormwater professionals inspected a retail property and found severe damage to multiple catch basins, necessitating repairs to prevent environmental liability and ensure site operations.

This commercial distribution center has four retention ponds on the property to offset the impervious surface area. These ponds collect, store and treat stormwater runoff.

Regular maintenance of stormwater assets protects properties from failures related to buildup and structural issues. Routinely inspecting and maintaining these assets can prevent costly repairs.

The stormwater pipe on this property failed leading to a catastrophic sinkhole that affected a nearby wastewater line. Quick, efficient work was of the upmost importance to repair both pipelines, the sinkhole and surrounding area.

During the retrofit process on this commercial property, the client and their previously hired engineering firm noted an expected increase in their waste stream. AQUALIS regularly maintained the lift station on the property and was the first choice for the two entities to advise and redesign the current lift station.

The sand filter basin on this site was not maintained and over time became laden with vegetation and no longer offered water quality benefits.

The War Memorial Center in Milwaukee, Wis. is a living memorial and museum intended to “Honor the Dead by Serving the Living”. Constructed in 1955, this site needed restructuring to better treat stormwater runoff from parking lots prior to entering Lake Michigan.

Through received grants, Milwaukee Public School’s (MPS) project goal was to remove tens of thousands of square feet of asphalt to manage hundreds of thousands of gallons of stormwater runoff while providing significant opportunities for students to engage in Green Infrastructure and eco-literacy topics firsthand through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) curricular connections.

A customer site in Lakewood, Wash. was experiencing vegetation overgrowth that was invasive and unsightly. To prevent the vegetation from overtaking stormwater assets, goats were used to naturally remove the plants and protect existing stormwater assets.

Proactive property managers of this homeowners association requested rehabilitation of stormwater ponds after over twenty years of neglect.

During routine inspection, the Town of Maynard, Mass. found pollutants leaving this retail site. To remediate the issue the AQUALIS inspected, cleaned and repaired the stormwater pipes.

Improper pond dredging and sediment stabilization leads to necessary stormwater pond rehabilitation.

Commercial property received Notice of Violation (NOV) requiring remediation of two bioretention cells on site.

A multi-family property received a notice of violation (NOV) listing fifteen deficiencies requiring corrective action.

During a maintenance visit, technicians noticed lift station pumps nearing failure. Because this was found before failure, the replacement was scheduled to avoid backups.

A wet detention pond located adjacent to a shipping and transportation warehouse required corrective action to restore access for maintenance.

AQUALIS’ lift station experts were called to inspect the condition of the two above-ground sanitary lift stations.

Sinkholes appeared in the drive lane of this complex. AQUALIS was called to investigate.

This property experienced regular flooding around downspouts. AQUALIS was notified to ensure the system was functioning properly.

Neglected and without a proper maintenance plan, the system ran without issue for a time, until it did not.

This location lacked a consistent stormwater maintenance plan, leaving the property to fall out of compliance.

In Athens, GA, a retail store’s stormwater detention pond outlet was affected by substantial erosion.

During AQUALIS’ first service visit to the site, a Contech Filter Vault was identified, and quickly found to be out of compliance with manufacturer guidelines.
