Stormwater Awareness Week 2025

It’s Stormwater Awareness Week!

With an early start to the Fall rainy weather, it is an ideal time to highlight four key benefits to being stormwater aware.

#1- NPDES Compliance

Construction sites, municipalities, and businesses must comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which regulates stormwater runoff to protect waterways.

Wallace Group’s experts guide clients through NPDES requirements and best practices—helping them focus resources where they matter most

#2- Recognized Ecological Benefits

Healthy watersheds support healthy communities.

Our interdisciplinary teams develop actionable plans to manage pollutants and protect ecosystems.

#3- Water Supply Resilience

Stormwater capture and reuse reduce water demand and control runoff, an especially vital function for drought-prone areas.

Wallace Group designs urban diversion systems that meter and reuse stormwater, boosting community resilience.

#4- Improved Safety

Stormwater control measures reduce flood risks and enhance public safety during heavy rain events.

Our teams collaborate to design resilient infrastructure—roads, roundabouts, and multi-use paths that remain accessible in wet weather.
