ECS designs & manufactures stainless steel storm drain catch basin filters to reduce, stop non-point source, first flush pollution. Detrimental runoff pollution occurs when water runs over land, picks up pollutants and deposits them into our storm system and waters. First flush or rainwater also washes off roads, parking lots, rooftops and other impermeable surfaces depositing untreated water and pollutants into receiving waters such as rivers, lakes and oceans. The EPA requires municipalities as well as contractors, industrial and commercial businesses to take responsibility for polluted discharge. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required to prevent sediment at construction sites, shopping centers, parking lot waste or etc. from entering a storm drain system. On a typical day watering and washing activities can produce millions of gallons of polluted water eventually leading into the receiving waters. During rainfall or urban runoff wouldn't it be nicer to have pollutants intercepted prio to our receiving waters. ECS can help you and your community make an impact on our future.
