Stormwater Management Services in California

TechSid Solutions provides Stormwater Management Services in California with a focus on organized CAD drafting, stormwater mapping, BMP documentation, LID coordination, and flexible project support.

Our Stormwater Management Services California support focuses on organizing approved engineering and project information into clear stormwater drawings and digital documentation. Depending on the project, stormwater management can address runoff conveyance, infiltration, detention, retention, treatment, pollutant reduction, erosion control, and long-term maintenance.

Our capabilities can include:

Our objective is to provide clear digital documentation that helps project teams coordinate stormwater controls with grading, drainage, utilities, landscaping, access, and other site improvements.

Stormwater Management is the planning and design of systems and practices used to manage rainfall runoff from developed and disturbed sites. Depending on the project, the goal can include controlling runoff quantity, reducing pollutants, promoting infiltration, protecting downstream water quality, managing peak flows, and minimizing erosion.

Stormwater management can include traditional drainage infrastructure as well as green infrastructure and low-impact development techniques. California guidance emphasizes the use of appropriate stormwater BMPs during project planning and development.

The specific design criteria, calculations, permits, BMP selection, and professional certification depend on the project and applicable jurisdiction. TechSid Solutions supports digital drafting and documentation from approved engineering information.

Our Stormwater Management Design California drafting support helps represent approved stormwater concepts within the overall site plan. Stormwater elements can be coordinated with grading, drainage, buildings, roads, parking, utilities, landscaping, and property constraints.

A coordinated stormwater plan can show inlets, pipes, swales, detention facilities, infiltration areas, bioretention areas, outfalls, overflow routes, treatment systems, and other approved components.

Caltrans' Project Planning and Design Guide provides guidance for evaluating site conditions and incorporating stormwater quality controls and BMPs into projects within Caltrans right-of-way.

Our Stormwater Management Plan Drafting services prepare clear CAD and PDF documentation from approved stormwater design information. Plans can include drainage areas, flow directions, storm drain systems, BMP locations, detention or retention facilities, treatment areas, and related notes and details.

Stormwater management plans may form part of larger civil engineering and permitting packages. The exact required contents vary by jurisdiction, project type, and applicable permit.

We can coordinate stormwater sheets with grading plans, utility plans, erosion-control drawings, landscape plans, and site plans.

Our Stormwater Drainage Design California drafting support represents how runoff is collected, conveyed, treated, detained, retained, infiltrated, or discharged within the approved project design.

Drainage documentation can include catch basins, inlets, pipes, culverts, channels, swales, detention structures, outfalls, overflow routes, and other drainage features.

Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, pipe sizing, design storms, discharge calculations, and professional certification should be performed by the appropriately qualified civil or water-resources engineer. TechSid Solutions supports the CAD documentation of approved results.

Construction activities such as clearing, grading, excavation, and stockpiling can expose soil and increase the potential for sediment and pollutant transport. California's Construction Stormwater Program regulates applicable construction stormwater discharges. Projects disturbing one or more acres, or smaller projects that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, generally require coverage under the Construction General Permit.

Our Construction Stormwater Management drafting support can help prepare or coordinate site maps, BMP locations, drainage paths, erosion-control features, construction limits, and other approved information for project documentation.

Where a SWPPP or other regulated construction-stormwater document is required, the responsible Qualified SWPPP Developer or other authorized professional should establish the compliance content and certification requirements.

Low Impact Development California approaches stormwater management by integrating site design, infiltration, water-quality treatment, and runoff reduction into development planning. CASQA's Southern California LID Manual describes LID as a resource for design, construction, and maintenance standards and strategies that support water-quality and regulatory objectives.

LID features can include bioretention, permeable pavement, infiltration areas, rain gardens, vegetated swales, rainwater harvesting, and other green infrastructure practices where appropriate.

Our drafting support can represent approved LID features within grading, drainage, landscape, and stormwater plans.

Our Stormwater BMP Design drafting support can document approved Best Management Practices used to control runoff, sediment, and pollutants. Construction and post-development BMPs can serve different purposes and should be selected according to the applicable project requirements.

California guidance includes construction BMP resources and post-development stormwater BMP guidance. The California Coastal Commission identifies CASQA's Construction BMP Handbook and its Stormwater BMP Handbook for New Development and Redevelopment among relevant resources.

Our role is to prepare the digital drawings, maps, details, and CAD documentation based on approved BMP selections and engineering information.

Post-Construction Stormwater Management focuses on managing runoff and pollutants after a development project is completed. California guidance includes long-term post-development BMPs intended to reduce pollutants and minimize adverse changes in runoff volume and flow rate.

Post-construction systems can include bioretention, infiltration facilities, permeable surfaces, detention or retention systems, treatment devices, rainwater harvesting, and other approved controls.

Our drafting support can prepare BMP plans, stormwater exhibits, drainage layouts, maintenance maps, and as-built documentation from approved project information.

Green Infrastructure Stormwater strategies use natural or engineered landscape features to manage runoff close to where rainfall occurs. Examples include vegetated areas, bioretention, infiltration systems, permeable pavement, and other distributed stormwater controls.

Green infrastructure can be integrated with site planning and landscape design to address stormwater while also supporting site aesthetics and environmental objectives.

The feasibility of each practice depends on soil conditions, groundwater, site slopes, drainage, local requirements, maintenance needs, and engineering criteria.

Stormwater Detention Design and retention systems can temporarily store runoff and control release or infiltration. Detention facilities can include basins, underground systems, vaults, tanks, and other approved storage solutions.

Retention and infiltration systems can be designed to keep runoff on site where soil, groundwater, regulatory, and site conditions permit.

Our CAD drafting support can document approved facility dimensions, contours, inlet/outlet structures, overflow routes, maintenance access, and related plan information.

Bioretention and infiltration facilities are common components of low-impact development and green infrastructure strategies. These systems can use engineered soil media, vegetation, aggregate layers, underdrains, overflow structures, and other components.

Our Bioretention and Infiltration Plan Drafting support can represent approved facility layouts, sections, details, drainage connections, planting areas, and maintenance access.

Soil testing, infiltration testing, groundwater assessment, sizing calculations, and engineering design should be performed by qualified professionals according to project requirements.

Residential projects can require stormwater planning for new homes, subdivisions, multifamily developments, additions, and larger site improvements. Depending on project size and jurisdiction, requirements may address drainage, erosion control, runoff reduction, and post-construction BMPs.

Our Residential Stormwater Management drafting support can coordinate approved stormwater features with grading, site planning, landscape, and architectural information.

For larger residential developments, stormwater documentation may be integrated into subdivision and land-development civil plan sets.

Roadway and transportation projects can involve extensive drainage networks, pavement runoff, culverts, channels, treatment systems, and erosion-control measures. Caltrans maintains a statewide Stormwater Management Program and provides technical and regulatory guidance for integrating stormwater controls into transportation projects.

Our drafting support can prepare storm drain layouts, BMP mapping, drainage exhibits, erosion-control plan sheets, and other approved stormwater documentation for transportation and infrastructure projects.

We review the project scope, topographic survey, grading plan, drainage calculations, hydrology/hydraulic information, site plan, geotechnical data, BMP requirements, CAD files, and required deliverables.

Approved stormwater facilities, drainage lines, BMPs, detention/retention areas, outfalls, and treatment features are incorporated into the plan.

Where applicable, approved low-impact development and BMP features are coordinated with grading, landscape, drainage, and site planning information.

The stormwater drawings are developed using organized layers, linework, symbols, labels, details, legends, notes, and title blocks.

The drawing is reviewed against supplied engineering information for consistency, clarity, completeness, and coordination.

Approved agency comments, engineering changes, revised calculations, and updated survey information can be incorporated into the plan set.

Final DWG, PDF, stormwater plan sheets, BMP exhibits, drainage layouts, as-built documentation, or other agreed deliverables are prepared according to project requirements.

A coordinated stormwater plan helps project teams understand how runoff is collected, conveyed, treated, detained, infiltrated, or discharged.

Stormwater controls can be integrated with grading, buildings, parking, landscaping, utilities, and other site improvements.

Organized stormwater plans can make approved drainage and BMP information easier to review during permitting, subject to local requirements.

Digital stormwater drawings provide contractors with a common reference for drainage infrastructure and BMP locations.

Editable stormwater drawings can be incorporated into broader civil engineering and construction documentation.
