Stormwater Maintenance & SCM Management Services

Stormwater systems are critical infrastructure designed to control runoff, protect waterways, and prevent flooding. Clearwater Lake, Pond & Stormwater Management Services provides professional inspection, maintenance, and repair services for stormwater control measures (SCMs) throughout the North Carolina Piedmont.

Our team helps property owners, HOAs, commercial developments, and municipalities maintain stormwater ponds, detention basins, and drainage infrastructure in compliance with North Carolina environmental regulations.

From routine inspections to structural repairs and vegetation management, we provide comprehensive solutions that keep stormwater systems functioning properly and protect surrounding ecosystems.

What Is a Stormwater Control Measure (SCM)?

Stormwater control measures are engineered systems designed to capture, filter, and control runoff from developed properties.

Common SCM systems include:

• retention ponds
• detention basins
• stormwater wetlands
• infiltration basins
• bioretention areas
• constructed stormwater ponds

These systems slow runoff, filter pollutants, and help reduce erosion and flooding risks. Regular inspection and maintenance are required to ensure these structures continue operating as designed.

  • Routine inspections are essential to identify developing problems before they lead to structural failure or regulatory violations.

    Clearwater provides stormwater inspection services that evaluate:

    • inlet and outlet structures
    • drainage pipes and risers
    • sediment forebays
    • pond embankments and slopes
    • spillways and overflow structures
    • vegetation growth within the basin
    • sediment buildup affecting water flow

    After inspection, we provide detailed service recommendations to maintain proper system performance.

  • Stormwater ponds require consistent maintenance to maintain proper drainage and water quality.

    Our maintenance programs include:

    • sediment removal and basin cleaning
    • aquatic vegetation management
    • algae and invasive plant control
    • shoreline erosion stabilization
    • outlet structure cleaning and repair
    • aeration system installation and maintenance

    Routine maintenance helps prevent costly reconstruction while maintaining compliance with local stormwater regulations.

  • Over time, stormwater systems can develop structural issues due to erosion, sediment accumulation, or equipment failure.

    Clearwater provides repair and restoration services including:

    • riser and outlet structure repair
    • drainage pipe replacement
    • embankment stabilization
    • spillway repairs
    • sediment forebay restoration
    • erosion control installation

    These repairs help restore system performance and extend the life of stormwater infrastructure.

  • Many municipalities across North Carolina require documented maintenance of stormwater systems. Failure to properly maintain these systems can result in compliance violations, fines, or required reconstruction.

    Clearwater works with property managers and municipalities to help maintain compliance through:

    • inspection reporting
    • maintenance documentation
    • vegetation management
    • drainage system restoration
    • corrective repair services

    Our goal is to help property owners maintain stormwater infrastructure while avoiding costly regulatory issues.

  • Our stormwater maintenance services support a wide range of properties including:

    • homeowner associations (HOAs)
    • apartment communities
    • commercial office parks
    • retail centers
    • industrial developments
    • municipal stormwater systems
    • golf courses and resorts
    • mixed-use developments

    Each property receives a customized stormwater management plan based on system design and site conditions.
