Stormwater regulations are changing across the region, reflecting increased development pressure, updated rainfall data, and heightened awareness of flood risk.
Municipalities and state agencies are paying closer attention to post-development runoff, detention performance, and downstream impacts. For developers and property owners, this means stormwater considerations must be addressed earlier in the project lifecycle.
AJC regularly assists clients with stormwater planning that balances regulatory compliance, constructability, and long-term performance—whether for commercial sites, infrastructure improvements, or redevelopment projects.
Current trends we’re seeing:
More detailed hydrologic and hydraulic modeling
Increased floodplain scrutiny
Stronger coordination between civil design and permitting
