Effective stormwater management is essential for protecting water quality, preserving infrastructure, and maintaining regulatory compliance. Our team combines certified field professionals, experienced environmental scientists, and the engineering resources of our parent company, MacKay, to deliver systems that perform the way they were designed to. Whether you’re managing an active construction site or responsible for long-term facility upkeep, Riparia has the expertise and equipment to get the job done right.
Our Stormwater Management Services
Riparia offers a full range of stormwater services to meet the needs of construction sites, commercial and industrial properties, municipalities, and everything in between.
-
Green Infrastructure Maintenance
Green stormwater infrastructure requires regular, knowledgeable maintenance to continue functioning as designed. Our services include vegetation management, inlet and outlet clearing, bulk sediment removal, dredging, facility rehabilitation, retrofits, and structural inspection and repair.
-
Gray Infrastructure Maintenance
Gray stormwater infrastructure requires routine professional maintenance to stay functional and compliant. Our services include vacuum truck cleaning, catch basin and storm drain cleaning, structural repairs, inspections, and replacement or installation of stormwater structures.
-
Inspection & Monitoring
Staying ahead of compliance requires systematic, well-documented inspection and monitoring. Our services include visual and CCTV video inspections, annual and permit compliance inspections, stormwater sampling and analysis, quarterly sampling programs, and compliance reporting.
-
Regulatory Compliance
When a Notice of Violation arrives, having the right team in your corner makes all the difference. We assess the situation, perform required corrective actions, communicate directly with regulators on your behalf, and develop maintenance programs tailored to your facility’s O&M requirements..
-
Construction
New infrastructure and failing system replacement require a contractor who can manage the full scope from start to finish. We self-perform stormwater construction and rehabilitation projects—managing all materials, labor, equipment, and permitting through completion.
-
Design & Consultation
Effective stormwater systems start with sound engineering. In partnership with MacKay’s engineering team, we provide new system design, retrofit engineering for failing or outdated infrastructure, and permit compliance consulting tailored to your facility’s specific needs.
-
Erosion Control
Erosion and sediment control protects exposed soils on construction sites and stormwater facilities from the erosive forces of rain and weather. Using proven Best Management Practices, we keep soil on site and out of downstream waterways throughout active construction.
Why Stormwater Management Matters
Stormwater infrastructure sits at the intersection of environmental protection, public safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term asset value.
-
Protecting Downstream Water Quality
Poorly maintained systems allow sediment, pollutants, and debris to reach waterways that communities and wildlife depend on.
-
Preventing Flooding & Legal Liability
Failed infrastructure can flood neighboring and downstream properties—making routine maintenance a core risk management responsibility.
-
Extending Asset Lifespan & Protecting Property Value
Proactive maintenance extends the functional life of your assets and protects your capital investment.
-
Meeting Regulatory Requirements
Local, state, and federal agencies require regular inspection and maintenance of stormwater infrastructure, and noncompliance triggers enforcement actions and costly corrective measures.
