Stormwater
ARM of Minnesota members know that managing stormwater is critically important to the long-term sustainability of our state’s lakes, streams and wetlands. Unmanaged stormwater can have devastating consequences on these natural resources that Minnesotans are proud of and enjoy. Stormwater often contains oil, chemicals, excess phosphorous, toxic metals, litter, and disease-causing organisms. In addition, stormwater frequently overwhelms streams and rivers, scours streambanks and river bottoms and hurts or eliminates fish and other aquatic organisms.
Over the years, ARM members have gained knowledge about and experience with identifying temporary sediment basins, basin draining, erosion prevention and sediment control practices as well as setting up permanent stormwater management systems. We work closely with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to ensure our compliance with federal and state regulations.
