Best Management Practices (BMPs), are devices used to reduce pollution in stormwater runoff, thereby protecting area waterways.
BMPs will not perform as designed if they are not regularly maintained. A regular maintenance program is the best way to ensure that a BMP will consistently perform its water quality improvement functions.
As a property owner or a Homeowners Association, you may be responsible for the maintenance of a BMP. It is important to note that while general maintenance tasks can be outlined, actual maintenance needs will vary according to specific site conditions.
DOE specializes in routine maintenance and corrective maintenance.
SUMMARY: The impacts on area waterways, due to the urbanization of watersheds, have become evident. With the continued construction of paved surfaces and development projects, drainage patterns have become altered, which often results in flooding. Normal day-to-day activities such as washing the car and fertilizing the lawn, have also contributed to water pollution. Excess fertilizer, lawn chemicals, automotive products, pet waste, leaves, debris, litter, and anything else that washes from the landscape are carried with each rainstorm into drainage systems, some of which flow directly into area waterways. BMPs reduce the flow which allows for filtration of pollutants before the stormwater enters our creeks, rivers, lakes and bays. To ensure that BMPs perform as expected, they must be maintained properly. No two BMPs are alike, therefore, their maintenance differs.
