Best Management Practice

 

WWE has long been on the leading edge of construction site stormwater management. In 1977, our Chief Engineer Kenneth Wright chaired a committee of the ASCE, National Association of Home Builders, and Urban Land Institute, which prepared a widely disseminated document, Erosion and Sediment Control. In 1982, WWE authored a 3-volume series on erosion and sediment control for the Denver Regional Council of Governments. WWE also served as advisor to the USEPA on the preparation of their manual on erosion and sediment control for construction sites. In 2004-2005, WWE developed a comprehensive guidance manual and taught construction site stormwater management short courses around the United States. From 2004 to the present, WWE has prepared over 50 stormwater management plans for industrial, commercial, residential, and municipal clients. 

WWE has a wide array of staff to address your construction stormwater management and construction dewatering needs, ranging from the former head of the United States Bureau of Reclamation's Sedimentation Division to former state regulators to a Ph.D. civil engineer, who teaches courses on construction site stormwater management. We have provided construction site services for industries ranging from ski resorts to residential developers to commercial and industrial sites.
