Industrial stormwater rarely has just one pollutant — and there isn't always one BMP that can address everything.

Our latest Industrial BMP Deep Dive takes a closer look at stormwater treatment trains and how different BMPs can work together to target sediment, metals, oil & grease, hydrocarbons, and other contaminants.

From slowing runoff and capturing solids to specialized treatment and final polishing, it’s all about putting the right BMP in the right place.

If your industrial facility exceeded one or more Numeric Action Levels (NALs) during stormwater sampling, you may be required to complete a Level 1 or Level 2 Exceedance Response Action (ERA) Report.

Not sure what that means? We've put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand:
– What triggers an ERA
– The difference between Level 1 and Level 2
– What's required in an ERA report
– Common reasons facilities exceed NALs
– Tips to strengthen your stormwater compliance and reduce future exceedances

Whether you're navigating your first ERA or preparing another report, this guide has practical information to help you get started.

The Fourth of July is a time for family, friends, fireworks, and making memories.

After the celebrations are over, a few extra minutes of cleanup can make a big difference. Fireworks debris, cups, food wrappers, and other litter left behind can eventually find their way into storm drains and our waterways.

Whether you're heading home from a neighborhood celebration or closing up your facility for the holiday weekend, help keep our communities clean by leaving every space a little better than you found it.

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Frog Environmental!

Celebrate responsibly this Independence Day. Small actions like cleaning up litter, properly disposing of fireworks debris, and securing your facility can make a lasting impact on our waterways.

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.

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.
