Green Infrastructure Services

Both the community and industry can benefit from “Green Infrastructure” installation. The MS4 General Permit requires communities to implement and enforce a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) designed to greatly reduce the discharge of pollutants from small MS4s, protect water quality, and satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of Ohio Revised Code 6111 and the Clean Water Act.

Instead of continual storm sewer maintenance, Green Infrastructure provides long-term solutions for more affordable and sustainable stormwater management.

Green Infrastructure such as bioretention cells and wetlands reduce and treat stormwater runoff for nutrients and decreases flooding through the establishment of functional floodplains. Permeable pavers reduce salt use, and Green Infrastructure also reduces the heat island effect—common in urban areas. 

Additionally, Green Infrastructure can be used by the industry as a Best Management Practice Plan to address pollutants identified in benchmark sampling requirements. Communities, as well as other regulatory agencies, may enact stormwater utility fees that are based on permeable surfaces in the future. Green Infrastructure can reduce your permeable footprint and your stormwater discharge to save you money in utility fees.  Enviroscience can design and build Green Infrastructure in concert with our construction partners, RiverReach, saving you time and money.

Our Green Infrastructure assistance includes:

• Design Best Management Practices (BMPs)
• Environmental Permits
• SWPPP Preparation
• BMP Construction and Maintenance

Few environmental firms in the country retain EnviroScience’s degree of scientific know-how, talent, and capability under one roof. The diverse backgrounds of our biologists, environmental engineers, scientists, and divers enable us to provide comprehensive in-house services and an integrated approach to solving environmental challenges—saving clients time, reducing costs, and ensuring high-quality results.

Our client guarantee is to provide “Excellence in Any Environment,” meaning no matter what we do, we will deliver on our Core Values of respect, client advocacy, quality work, accountability, teamwork, and safety. EnviroScience was created with the concept that we could solve complex problems by empowering great people. This concept still holds true today as our scientists explore the latest environmental legislation and regulations and incorporate the most up-to-date technology to gather and report data.

EnviroScience expertise includes but is not limited to: aquatic surveys (including macroinvertebrate surveys and biological assessments); ecological restoration; ecological services (including impact assessments, invasive species control, and water quality monitoring);  emergency response; engineering and compliance services; endangered mussel surveys; laboratory and analysis; stormwater management; threatened and endangered species; and wetlands and streams (including delineation and mitigation). Further, EnviroScience is one of the few biological firms in the country that is a general member of the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) and offers full-service commercial diving services.
