Stormwater Quality Inspections

Our technicians routinely inspect businesses, residences, and ongoing construction projects to ensure Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) regulations are upheld, and to prevent illicit discharges of pollutants from entering our storm drains, and subsequently, our creeks. Sediment, grass clippings, broken water lines, and raw sewage are some of the most common pollutants in illicit discharges. 

Inspections on stormwater infrastructure (i.e. retention and detention ponds, channels, weirs, culverts, etc.) at residential, commercial, and municipal properties are also conducted to determine areas in need of maintenance or repair. Dry Weather Field Screening inspections occur at each one of our outfalls (the discharge points along our creeks) during periods of dry weather to determine if there are illicit discharges of pollutants into our natural creeks.

If you suspect an illicit discharge of hazardous substances has occurred, please call us at (405) 739-1040 and explain the situation. We would be happy to send someone out to investigate.
