Green Development Consultants, L.L.C. has over 19 years of environmental project experience in using low-impact development
alternatives (LIDAs) and environmental solutions for preserving and sustaining natural resources. Our methods passively treat
stormwater runoff from parking lots, roofs, vehicle/equipment washing and/or garden center watering activities at the fraction
of the cost of traditional stormwater treatment systems, while limiting development impacts to the site and at the same time
recharging local groundwater supplies and maintaining local stream base flows.
Our experience
in presenting these environmental and cost-effective approaches of handling stormwater runoff and our construction stormwater
program to local permitting agencies can ease the application approval, construction, and post-construction processes of your
developments. We bring with us a keen familiarity of current environmental concerns, i.e., reduction of impervious area, stormwater
pollutant treatment and removal, ability to design and use LIDAs in various development settings, and strong business reputation
and track record working with government agencies, i.e., CTDEP, EPA Boston, ACOE, and a client base where our services have
been retained on an array of projects.
We have experience in working with commercial/residential
developers, architects, engineers, agricultural producers, Home Owners Associations (HOAs), real estate property managers,
and various regulatory agencies, in selecting LIDAs and/or environmental solutions that address water quality and quantity
issues.
Some LIDAs we help design, oversee construction, and monitor for new or retrofit developments
include:
- Bioretention gardens, wetland and stormwater compost filter systems, and sheet flow/linear stepped
down
grassed swale systems
to treat surface water runoff from parking lots, roofs, lawns, golf courses;
- Garden center and equipment
wash runoff treatment systems;
- Pervious parking lot systems;
- Turbidity batch treatment system during construction activities;
and,
- Passive sand core systems for removing colloidal materials during construction activities.
