'Rain Rain Go Away' - Stormwater Concerns

"Rain Rain Go Away, Come again some other day . . ."

We have all heard or sang this song when we were children.  

City Managers Need Assistance

Now that we are older and wiser, the song now reminds city managers, environmental project engineers and environmental agencies that there are new regulations and guidelines that must be followed during scheduled rain events. 


The 'intent' of the new regulation is to spot any 'illicit' drainage from septic systems, oil tank farms, manufacturing concerns and other potential pollution sources from entering our streams, lakes and rivers during storm events.

GEI Tech Sampling

GEI has been assisting city officials and industry throughout the Ohio Valley by providing GEI's exclusive 'stormwater sampling' services.  GEI performs composite and 'grab' sampling analysis at various permitted and designated areas to verify if there are 'runoff' conditions that could be harmful during rain and storm events.   




GEI's documented 'stormwater sampling' analysis of the rain event then is made available to our client and a final report is generated with recommended procedures to eliminate or mitigate 'stormwater' pollution.   

Preparing Bottles for Collection

Call GEI today for an appointment to review your MS4 or 'Stormwater Permit' regulation.  GEI's motto is "keeping our client compliant.'

Punxy Phil is Getting Ready for is 'wake-up' call . . .

"'Will he see his Shadow - or - Will he not see his Shadow?', That is the question . . . ."

Yes, February 2nd is the traditional day when Mr. PP gets to 'tell us' about Spring's weather arrival.

AS tradition continues, the most popular rodent resident of Punxsutawney, Pa gets to predict when our Spring-like weather will appear.

AND Mr P, has been doing this for the past 128 years.  Quite a long-standing tradition!  And the tradition goes like this:

If Phil sees his shadow and returns to his hole, he has predicted 6 more weeks of winter-like weather.  If Phil does not see his shadow, he has predicted an "early Spring."

I think that we all this year would like to see an early Spring in the NE! 

What do you think?  "Will he or Will he not - that is the Question!"  THINK SPRING !!!

Water Harvesting

'Water Harvesting' . . . A great way to save and reuse water.

Here in the NE, we are experiencing one of the coldest winters in 20 years.  

With 'Winter' comes snow, ice and cold temperatures.  

Why then should we think about 'Water Harvesting?'  

A 'Water Harvesting' System

'Spring' starts March 20, 2014 

We must remind ourselves during these cold - dark days, that eventually . . 'Spring' arrives.  

When this article was written on January 22,  'SPRING' was only 55 days away.       

With 'Spring' - comes rain, planting and more even more rain.  

By installing a 'Water Harvesting' - rain barrel, you can "Go Green" without too much trouble or expense.    

Several years ago my wife and I visited our family in the mid-west and came across a practical 'Water Harvesting' system that can help schools, businesses and homeowners with their water cost and help cities with their water conservation plans.  Green Energy Initiatives would like to help you conserve water.  If you need additional information, please contact us via this blog.

Green Energy Initiatives is always on the lookout for new water saving ideas and solutions to environmental problems.  

We would like to 'hear' from you.  What are some ways you are conserving our precious 'water' resource? 

  

Please comment on GEI's blog.  

Thank you and 

'Think Spring!'
