Stormwater management is more than just a regulatory requirement; it’s essential protection for our waterways and your business. Whether you're running a recycling plant, manufacturing facility, or construction site, uncontrolled stormwater runoff can lead to costly fines, environmental damage, and community backlash.
At FROG Environmental, we support businesses across California and the west coast with comprehensive industrial stormwater consulting and strategic Best Management Practices (BMPs) designed to filter pollutants, meet Industrial General Permit (IGP) benchmarks, and ensure long-term compliance while protecting your bottom line.
What Is Stormwater Runoff?
Stormwater runoff occurs when rain flows over hard surfaces like pavement, rooftops, or equipment yards, picking up pollutants such as:
Sediment
Oil & Grease (O&G)
Heavy metals (Copper, Lead, Zinc)
Trash & debris
Nutrients (like phosphates and nitrates)
Without proper filtration, these contaminants enter storm drains and eventually local water bodies, violating environmental regulations and threatening aquatic ecosystems.
Why Stormwater Management Matters
Stormwater management helps:
Prevent regulatory exceedances
Comply with NPDES permits and California’s IGP
Reduce pollution in our rivers, lakes, and oceans
Avoid third-party lawsuits and costly cleanups
Improve public trust and corporate responsibility
Key Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Our Industrial Wattle offers long-lasting sediment and oil filtration with UV protection. It slows water flow and captures pollutants at their source. An essential first line of defense for any storm drain.
✔️ Controls Sediment & Oil
✔️ UV-Protected Design
✔️ Versatile for Downspouts, Drains & Perimeters
Heavy metals are a common culprit in NAL exceedances. Our MetalPROOF™ Socks are engineered to filter Copper, Lead, and Zinc from stormwater, which is ideal for recycling yards, metal fabricators, and vehicle storage.
✔️ Targets Dissolved Metals
✔️ Works Best with Wattles
✔️ Easy to Deploy in High-Risk Areas
Oil and fuel residues can create sheen in stormwater discharges. Our CarbonPROOF™ Socks and Oil Pillows capture hydrocarbons before they reach the drain—helping reduce Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) levels.
✔️ Absorbs Oil, Grease, & Hydrocarbons
✔️ Easy to Place Near Drains & Outfalls
✔️ Improves Compliance Scores
Need a complete solution? Our StormPROOF® Kits offer bundled BMPs to tackle:
✔️ Heavy metals
✔️ Oil & grease
✔️ Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
How to Know If You’re Compliant
If you’re operating under the California Industrial General Permit, you likely need:
Proven BMP deployment
A trained QISP (Qualified Industrial Stormwater Practitioner)
Still unsure? We offer site assessments and compliance audits to help you meet your requirements.
