Stormwater Maintenance Program
Stormwater carries untreated water runoff directly into creeks and rivers and, by doing so, impacts our environment. Improper disposal of wastes, such as oil, paint, fertilizer and pesticides will pollute the stormwater and destroy plants, endanger wildlife and affect drinking water. Never dump materials, including grass clippings, into any storm drain or drainage canal, and be sure to keep any catch basins on your property free of grass clippings and debris.
Various government agencies regulate storm water discharge. arch environmental group's stormwater trained and certified consultants are prepared to assist in your discharge permit, outfall determinations or any portion of your needed compliance issues.
arch environmental group is committed to practicing sound stormwater management practices and to observance and adherence to all local, state and federal stormwater rules and regulations.

Septic Tank Maintenance Information
From the
Rouge River National Wet Weather Demonstration Project
Septic systems are waste water treatment systems that use septic tanks and drain fields to dispose of sewage in soil. They are typically used in rural or large lot settings where a sanitary sewer is not available.
