Oil Grit Separators: Protecting Water Quality from First Flush Runoff
When it rains, the very first water that washes off roads, parking lots, and other paved surfaces carries a heavy load of pollutants. This “first flush runoff” often contains oil, grease, sediment, trash, and heavy metals that can quickly degrade water quality if left untreated. That’s where Oil Grit Separators (OGS) come in. These stormwater…
Confined Space Entry in Stormwater Management: Safety & Compliance Explained
Managing stormwater facilities isn’t always straightforward. Many systems – such as underground detention vaults, storm drains, and large pipes – require workers to access confined spaces for inspections, cleaning, and maintenance. Because confined spaces present unique safety hazards, only properly trained and certified professionals should perform this work. At iSTORMWATER, our team holds Confined Space…
The Role of CCTV Inspections in Stormwater Facility Maintenance
Stormwater management systems are designed to protect properties and surrounding environments from flooding, erosion, and pollution. But over time, underground pipes and structures within these systems can become clogged, damaged, or compromised in ways that aren’t visible from the surface. That’s where closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections play a crucial role in stormwater facility maintenance. By…

In regions like Maryland, Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Delaware, stormwater regulations are strict and actively enforced. Failure…
Tree Box Filters: Big Stormwater Impact in Small Urban Spaces
In dense urban environments where space is limited but stormwater challenges are significant, tree box filters have emerged as one of the most efficient low-footprint solutions. These compact, modular systems combine engineered soil media, vegetation, and underground infrastructure to capture and treat polluted runoff – all while enhancing streetscape aesthetics. One of the most widely…
Real Results
iStormwater LLC was an excellent choice. They made the process of the Stormwater pond repairs seamless. They took charge of the project and got the project approved and passing the inspection. We highly recommend them and would use them again.
Incredible stormwater management service. The owner John consulted on a property I manage and ended up saving us thousands of dollars in environmental fees from the government. Now, our property is compliant with the EPA and we have a great partner to keep us maintained on stormwater regulations over time.
So helpful with all of my water issues.
Great communication and leadership and a family friendly atmosphere. Thank you John!
