Stormwater Management

Hanover Engineering provides a comprehensive range of Stormwater Management Engineering services. Our staff has extensive experience serving both the Private Sector and Public Sector concerning Stormwater Management facilities.

Our staff keeps up-to-date with the latest regulations that effect the requirements of Stormwater Management such as NPDES Phase II requirements, Act 167 Watershed Plan requirements and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) requirements that affect development of all kinds ranging from small residential subdivisions to large Industrial Park Complexes. In addition we augment Stormwater Management facilities by incorporating the latest low-impact development designs that lend themselves well to the latest regulations, which have an emphasis on water quality.

For Municipal clients our staff provides plan reviews, which involve incorporating the latest stormwater management requirements. We also prepare stormwater management ordinances for Municipalities that either desire to update their current ordinances or are required to as a result of an Act 167 Watershed Plan.

In addition to the above, Hanover Engineering provides Flood Plain Analyses for proper identification to avoid construction within the Flood Plain, or, when necessary, for construction within the Flood Plain. Our staff would prepare the application for the required permitting that goes hand-in-hand with such projects. This can range from permitting for wetland mitigation involving the PADEP and USACE to a flood elevation map revision involving FEMA.

Stormwater Management facilities must be designed with consideration of required Erosion and Sedimentation Control facilities. In the past, the two related items where considered separately as one for during construction activities and the other for the permanent condition of the site. Erosion and Sedimentation Control design must now include a Post Construction Stormwater Plan and Stormwater Management Plans must now incorporate Best Management Practices (BMPs) for water quality.
