An effective Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program
has become critical to every construction site over one acre. This
is mandated by Federal law and enforced under the California State
Permit to release storm water under Phase II of the Federal Clean
Water Act. All private entities, individuals and public agencies are
bound by these laws and are subject to enforcement actions including
citations and fines for illegally releasing polluted storm water from
construction sites.
Sediment laden runoff from construction sites has been shown to kill
fish and aquatic plants, and destroy breeding grounds for aquatic
life. Suspended soil particles also are carriers for other types of
pollutants including heavy metals, petroleum by-products, pesticides,
and other non-visible pollutants.
In addition to more rigorous inspection and enforcement
activities from the agencies, there are a growing number of private
citizens groups who are committed to monitoring local construction
projects and their affect on neighboring lakes and streams, and who
are exercising their rights to file civil and criminal suits against
those who violate the Clean Water Act through illegal construction
site discharges
Thunder Mountain Enterprises, Inc. (TME) provides a unique full spectrum
site management service unavailable from your typical landscaper,
erosion control contractor or street cleaning contractor. With 30
years of general engineering experience we know the ins and outs of
moving dirt, we understand the logistics and critical time frames
associated with active construction sites, and we understand the compliance
process and regulatory community.
No one has a better track record of success
than TME in fine avoidance and proactive site maintenance, because
our owners and staff are more highly trained and motivated than
anyone else in the business. Our experience is extensive, and includes
working on large complex construction sites on steep terrain, with
difficult colloidal clay soils, and located around sensitive wetlands
and other protected areas.
