AQUALIS
Stormwater Management for Industrial & Manufacturing Facilities
AQUALIS is the leading provider of stormwater and wastewater maintenance. Whether your facility is one property or multiple, we are equipped to assist with all sustainable water management needs. We deliver comprehensive stormwater management solutions for industrial sites, ensuring long-term environmental compliance, infrastructure performance and regulatory peace of mind.
From light assembly plants to high-volume manufacturing campuses, we support facilities across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, food processing, aerospace, automotive, motor freight and transportation.
Industrial stormwater presents unique challenges, including high pollutant loads, extensive impervious surfaces, stringent permitting standards and oversight from the EPA and local agencies. That’s why we offer tailored services that protect your site, safeguard nearby ecosystems and reduce your liability without interrupting your operations.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Services We Offer
If your industrial site requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), AQUALIS offers a full suite of stormwater services customized for your site’s layout, processes and regional climate. Our stormwater experts know every federal and local regulation in the book, monitoring these codes and helping maintain compliance.
Regular inspections are not just best practice, they’re often mandated by your industrial stormwater permit. Our trained inspectors assess both the functionality and structural integrity of your systems. We document findings in real-time using GIS and photo logs, helping you stay ahead of compliance issues.
These inspections allow early identification of issues like sediment buildup, system failures, vegetation overgrowth and illicit discharges, all of which can contribute to stormwater violations if left unresolved.
Industrial stormwater infrastructure often experiences high amounts of wear due to vehicle traffic, chemical runoff and heavy equipment. When damage occurs, whether it’s a failed catch basin, cracked culvert or degraded vault, AQUALIS mobilizes quickly with expertly-engineered solutions and self-performing crews.
We repair and rehabilitate assets both above and below ground, using trenchless methods where possible to minimize site disruption. Every repair is performed to restore both system functionality and permit compliance.
Preventive maintenance extends the life of your stormwater assets and keeps your SWPPP on track. At AQUALIS, we customize our maintenance programs to your facility’s unique operational demands.
We begin by analyzing your drainage system layout, identifying critical infrastructure, such as retention basins, inlet filters and storm lines. Then we implement a routine maintenance cycle. For example, a facility with high dust emissions may require more frequent sediment removal, while a food manufacturing site might focus on preventing organic material buildup. Instead of reacting to problems, we proactively address them, protecting both your infrastructure and your environmental standing.
Over time, these programs reduce emergency repair costs and ensure that every regulatory inspection goes smoothly.
Sinkholes pose a serious safety and structural risk to your property, especially in areas with high-traffic loading zones or storage yards. They often result from stormwater pipe leaks, soil erosion or improperly compacted backfill.
Our sinkhole repair process begins with an evaluation to identify the root cause. From there, we excavate the area as needed, stabilize the soils, replace any compromised components and restore the surface to its proper condition. Whether the surface is asphalt, concrete or gravel, we match the original materials to maintain safety and aesthetics.
We also offer post-repair inspections to monitor performance over time, minimizing the risk of recurrence.
Outfalls are the final discharge points for your stormwater system, and they’re also the last line of defense against regulatory violations. Sediment, trash and erosion issues at the outfall can trigger water quality violations or costly Notice of Violation (NOV) letters from local agencies.
AQUALIS evaluates the structural condition of outfalls, checks for channel erosion or backflow and removes any accumulated sediment or debris. We also perform riprap stabilization and shoreline restoration when needed to prevent further degradation.

Non-Compliance Resolution & Prevention for Your Facility
If your site has received a Notice of Violation (NOV) or failed an industrial stormwater inspection, you must act fast to prevent escalation and fines. AQUALIS has helped hundreds of facilities across the country efficiently resolve environmental non-compliance.
Our approach includes:
- Conducting a root-cause site evaluation
- Developing a corrective action plan
- Performing immediate repairs or cleanouts
- Submitting documentation on your behalf
We don’t fix issues temporarily. We help you stay compliant long-term. Learn more about our non-compliance services by contacting us today.

Environmental Services for Your Industrial Facility
Industrial sites generate some of the most pollutant-heavy runoff due to the nature of operations. Equipment maintenance, chemical storage, fuel handling and manufacturing residue are all potential stormwater contaminants. Our stormwater experts help you properly manage these contaminants.
AQUALIS mitigates potential risks by aligning your site with federal and state EPA requirements. Our team develops and updates your SWPPP, identifies and applies best management practices (BMPs) and assists with site-specific modifications to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) compliance.
Through comprehensive reporting, training programs and monitoring, we help ensure that your site discharges clean, compliant water and avoids costly enforcement action.
Wastewater Services for Your Industrial or Manufacturing Facility
Industrial wastewater from floor drains, washdowns and processing systems requires just as much attention as stormwater. At AQUALIS, we provide wastewater management and engineering support for a variety of treatment and conveyance systems.
We service and maintain lift stations, conduct CCTV pipe inspections, perform vactor jetting and cleaning and provide emergency overflow mitigation. Our nationally-reaching team also supports the design and retrofitting of systems to better manage fluctuating wastewater loads from industrial operations.
Whether you discharge to a municipal system or operate under your own wastewater permit, AQUALIS keeps your system clean, efficient and fully compliant.
