Stormwater Compliance and Inspections

Stormwater management facilities are man-made structures that help reduce flooding, slow down water flow and clean pollutants from water. It’s important to ensure that your facilities are functioning properly, especially when it rains. So, let SŌLitude Lake Management be your partner in stormwater facility management. Our professionals are certified to inspect all aspects of your system and to make recommendations for proper maintenance and repairs.

Managing Large Lake Systems
|
|
Lake management programs can vary widely based on the intended management goals and the unique makeup of each individual lake system. As a result, developing an effective management program for larger systems requires not only a detailed initial biological assessment of conditions, but also a high level of applied lake management experience. We have the technical capabilities and management experience necessary to take each project from assessment to implementation.

Lake Mapping Services

Bathymetric lake mapping involves the measurement of water depth and surface area through the use of advanced technologies including high resolution depth finders, GPS and 3-D contour imaging. Accurate mapping of water depth and sediment accumulation can be used to tailor site-specific monitoring and management programs to allow for more effective and efficient lake management.

Golf Course Lake and Pond Management

Shoreline Erosion Control
|
|
Shoreline erosion is a common, natural phenomenon that can occur as a result of harsh weather, recreation, poor landscape design or, simply, an aging freshwater ecosystem. If left unaddressed, your lake, stormwater pond or canal may experience native vegetation and habitat loss, nutrient loading, excess runoff and other complications. Through SOLitude’s close partnerships, we are pleased to offer a variety of unique shoreline erosion control solutions that halt sedimentation and restore damaged banks.

They can contaminate drinking water by producing dangerous toxins and also cause taste and odor issues. From water quality testing and algae identification to cyanobacteria control and ongoing monitoring, our environmental experts are here to properly and efficiently manage your municipality’s reservoirs and help to ensure that customers are provided with clean, safe drinking water.
