DRAINAGE & STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

BFA has provided stormwater design for hundreds of projects in its 55+ years in business. We have been at the forefront of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase I and Phase II compliance as it pertains to construction site runoff control, post-construction runoff control, and land disturbance permits, since Phase I regulations were promulgated in the early 1990s. We work with Municipally Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) and non-MS4 communities nationwide to gain permit approvals and develop Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) that meet their requirements.

BFA stands ready to satisfy the needs of commercial, industrial, municipal, and private clients. We excel at developing solutions that garner stakeholder opinions and collaborate to include consideration of all design interests.

Erosion & Sediment Control Plans & Design

BFA is dedicated to providing professional erosion and sedimentation control for all our projects.  We developed SWPPPs and obtained permit coverage for projects in over 15 states. Our project teams are adept at contacting the proper local and state authorities and ensuring our projects meet their requirements.
We also maintain an active part in our community’s Professional Organizations. Our company continues to present at conferences and workshops as an expert in Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans and in the inspection of permitted construction sites.

Stormwater & Design Calculations

The Professionals at BFA completely understand Stormwater Management.  From designing a parking lot or road without areas of ponding water, to creating stormwater runoff studies to meet local jurisdictional permit requirements. We can put together the plan and information to keep your project moving forward. Our Stormwater Technicians and Engineers are familiar with many types of software and calculations to generate the reports and information needed to design your site properly. We use the appropriate combination of software applications and experience to get the answers we need to design the project and secure approvals.
