Environmental Water

Guiding Environmental Water Management from Evaluation to Implementation

ECS water solutions partners with clients to manage and treat environmental water, including groundwater encountered during excavation and dewatering, ex situ groundwater remediation, and stormwater on construction sites and at industrial facilities such as ports, manufacturing plants, food processors and recycling operations.

Project conditions + challenges

Pumped groundwater may contain site‑specific contaminants such as PFAS, VOCs and dissolved metals that require careful handling to meet permit requirements.

Stormwater often carries high sediment loads, along with contaminants like hydrocarbons, metals and nutrients that affect receiving waters.

Environmental Water

Project factors + regulations we navigate

  • State and local Water Quality Standards (WQS)
  • Federal NPDES
  • 303(d) impaired waters
  • Permitted discharge to municipal Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
  • Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
  • Pollution Reduction Plans (PRPs)
  • Water Quality-Based Effluent Limits (WQBELs)
  • Work near endangered species or sensitive habitats
  • High profile projects with public scrutiny that shapes project strategy and communication

How we engage

ECS water solutions delivers a single, unified team in place of separate consultants, technicians, equipment vendors and subcontractors.

Environmental Water

What this means for your project

This model reduces coordination and handoffs, supports faster response times when conditions change and helps maintain smoother execution with lower overall costs during the life of the project.

Services we can provide:

  • Consultant for strategy and design input
  • Environmental technician for sampling and monitoring
  • Service provider for treatment operations and on‑site support
  • Equipment and consumables supplier
  • Contractor or subcontractor for field execution, as needed

Selecting treatment approaches

Our technology-independent philosophy empowers ECS to design the correct approach for the project:

  • Passive Best Management Practices (BMPs)
  • Sediment basins for stormwater flow controls
  • Passive and semi-passive treatment systems
  • Active treatment systems, integrating site-specific technologies such as:
    • Chemically-enhanced sand filtration (CESF)
    • Active adsorptive media
    • pH adjustment
    • COD + BOD destruction
    • Nutrient reduction
    • Disinfection
  • Automated systems for remote monitoring, data collection, and complex operations
