Not all stormwater pollutants are visible.

Many industrial facilities struggle with metals in runoff because dissolved pollutants can pass through traditional sediment BMPs unnoticed.

Our newest Industrial BMP Deep Dive explains:
✔ Dissolved vs. particulate metals
✔ Why some BMPs fail in the field
✔ Common sources of metals in industrial runoff
✔ BMP strategies for better metals removal

Read Part 3 here:

Industrial stormwater metals can be difficult to control because many pollutants are dissolved and invisible in runoff. Learn the difference between dissolved and particulate metals, why BMPs fail, and strategies for more effective stormwater treatment.

Clear water ≠ clean water.

Oil, grease, and carbon can build up silently across your site, then get washed into your storm drains during the next rain event.

Our newest BMP Deep Dive breaks down how to stop hydrocarbons before they reach the drain (where things get a lot harder to control).

If you’re relying on the drain as your first line of defense… it might be time to rethink your strategy.

Hoppy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Cheers to reliable BMPs, debris-free drains, and clean runoff!

California stormwater compliance is not getting easier in 2026.

We put together a clear, practical guide covering:
• Numeric Action Levels
• Sampling requirements
• SWPPP expectations
• Regional Water Board enforcement trends

If you manage an industrial facility, this will help you prepare before inspections and exceedances become an issue.

Check it out here:

California’s stormwater regulations continue to evolve, and facilities need to stay ahead of monitoring, reporting, and BMP requirements. This guide breaks down what industrial operators should know for 2026 and how to prepare.

Stormwater sampling success starts long before rain hits the ground.

Many compliance issues happen because facilities aren’t fully prepared for real storm conditions. Our newest blog explains how better planning, BMP performance checks, and sampling readiness can help reduce exceedances and improve stormwater results.

Learn how industrial facilities can improve sampling readiness, reduce exceedances, and strengthen stormwater performance before the next storm event.

Stormwater problems don’t always start on your site.

Run-on from neighboring properties, roads, and uphill areas can bring extra water and pollutants onto industrial sites, putting pressure on BMPs and treatment systems.

We just published a new blog explaining how stormwater run-on works and what facilities can do to control it before it becomes a compliance issue.

Learn how run-on control strategies, from perimeter diversion to targeted interceptors, can improve compliance and reduce pollutant loads.

The new year marks the second half of the IGP reporting year. California industrial facilities still need to collect two qualifying stormwater samples before June 30. Learn what to plan for now to avoid last-minute compliance issues.

For IGP-covered facilities, the new year means it’s time to collect the final two required stormwater samples. Learn how the second half of the reporting year works and what’s needed to stay compliant by June 30.

Many stormwater exceedances don’t happen because BMPs are missing; they happen because BMPs are outdated, undersized, or overwhelmed by storm intensity.

When maintenance alone isn’t enough, targeted upgrades and engineered treatment systems can stabilize performance and protect compliance.

In our latest blog, we break down when it’s time to move beyond basic BMPs and how advanced treatment solutions, like StormPROOF® systems, help industrial sites reduce risk during rainy season.
