AQUALIS
Stormwater Management for Retail Centers
AQUALIS is the leading provider of stormwater management for retail properties nationwide. Our team ensures your sites remain compliant with federal, state and local environmental regulations through proactive water management strategies.
Retail properties face unique challenges related to water management. Expansive paved surfaces and continuous foot and vehicle traffic can increase the risk of parking lot flooding and water-related damage.
Whether you manage a single storefront or an entire portfolio of retail centers, AQUALIS delivers tailored solutions that maintain safety, support EPA compliance and minimize disruption to your daily operations.
Non-Compliance Resolution & Prevention for Your Retail Storefront
Retail properties that do not comply with stormwater regulations under the Clean Water Act or other federal, state or local requirements may receive a Notice of Violation (NOV). If your retail site has received an NOV, it’s critical to act quickly and effectively.
AQUALIS specializes in remediating NOVs and reducing or removing associate fines for retail properties nationwide. Our experts evaluate your site, develop a corrective action plan and manage the NOV resolution process to minimize environmental liability and prevent future violations.
Stormwater Services We Offer
Retail facilities require a broad range of stormwater solutions tailored to their unique property layouts and regional climate. At AQUALIS, we offer comprehensive stormwater management solutions for shopping malls and other retail centers.
Stormwater system inspections are required for retail properties nationwide. AQUALIS provides certified inspections to evaluate catch basins, retention ponds and commercial parking lot drainage systems for potential concerns to prevent future violations. Partnering with us ensures your retail facility remains compliant and operational year-round.
When stormwater infrastructure is compromised, retail facilities are at heightened risk for parking lot flooding, erosion and regulatory violations.
AQUALIS provides prompt and effective stormwater repairs to restore functionality and extend the lifespan of your stormwater systems. From repairing broken pipes to replacing deteriorated catch basins, our team resolves issues that can otherwise disrupt business operations and damage property.
Our repair services are designed to correct deficiencies quickly to pass annual inspections and avoid environmental harm or safety hazards.
Stormwater systems require ongoing maintenance to remain compliant with water quality regulations. Without proper attention, these systems can experience sediment buildup or blockages that lead to premature system failures.
AQUALIS provides scheduled stormwater maintenance tailored to the needs of retail facilities. Our services address everything from sediment removal to vegetation control, helping properties stay in compliance and avoid unexpected system failures.
By taking a proactive approach to maintenance, retail property managers protect their infrastructures and reduce long-term repair expenses.
Sinkholes are often a sign of underlying infrastructure failure and can pose serious risks to retail properties. Left unaddressed, they threaten the safety of customers and employees while causing costly damage to pavement, stormwater systems and surrounding facilities.
AQUALIS provides specialized sinkhole repairs designed to address the root cause of subgrade loss. Our specialists stabilize compromised areas, repair damaged infrastructure and restore structural integrity to prevent future collapse.
Many retail properties are required to monitor and document stormwater discharges to remain in compliance with federal, state and local regulations.
AQUALIS provides comprehensive discharge monitoring services to track water quality, identify pollutants and ensure facilities meet all permitting requirements. Our specialists conduct sampling, reporting and analysis to verify regulatory adherence while minimizing environmental impact.
By implementing a thorough discharge monitoring program, retail property managers can protect local waterways and avoid violations.
Parking lot drainage systems in retail centers frequently accumulate sediment, trash and other debris that can lead to backups and flooding if not properly maintained.
AQUALIS provides professional vactor services to remove buildup and restore optimal flow to stormwater infrastructure. Our advanced vactor services use high-powered vacuum and water jetting methods to safely clean large-scale drainage systems without causing damage.
This service is particularly valuable for retail facilities with large paved surfaces, high customer traffic and complex drainage systems that require reliable performance.
