A recognized leader in storm water engineering and compliance, AMEC Geomatrix has unparalleled experience across a broad range of industries, municipalities, state agencies and other entities including airports, landfills, automotive, food processing, recycling, manufacturing, metal finishing and foundries, oil and gas, and mixed-used development concerns.

We have developed comprehensive storm water management programs for many industrial and municipal clients that have included negotiation of permit conditions; Best Management Practice (BMP) evaluation; and recommendation, design, and development of compliance documents. We understand the importance of developing a program that both benefits water quality and can be feasibly implemented and maintained. We hold annual seminars to train hundreds of representatives from industrial facilities and municipalities on NPDES permit compliance including BMP implementation, monitoring and reporting.

In addition to our compliance experience, our engineers have performed detailed hydrologic and hydraulic studies and designed numerous storm water treatment systems. While working to find a manageable solution to improve water quality from an industrial site, AMEC Geomatrix engineers developed an innovative flow control and treatment system (the TopHat) that has since been patented. We regularly work on complex projects to develop manageable solutions to comply with permit conditions and litigation driven requirements for our clients.

We’re particularly known for our ability to create solutions that minimize compliance costs while maximizing environmental protection and to assist with creative responses to litigation matters. To do so, we leverage state-of-the-art technologies, BMPs, our deep understanding of compliance issues, and our strong negotiating skills along with the strong relationships we have developed with regulators at the local, state, and federal levels.
