Learn how to use HaloKlear®
Stormwater runoff and dewatering from construction sites can have a significant negative impact on the quality of neighboring water sources. As stormwater flows over a construction site, it picks up sediment, debris, oil, chemicals, and other pollutants. Without mitigation, the water can run off the site into streams, lakes, storm drains, and sewer systems.
Sediment, suspended soil particles, and pollutants in the runoff can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching aquatic plants, clog fish gills, smother aquatic habitat and spawning areas, and impede fish navigation.
The polluted runoff can harm or kill fish and other wildlife and eventually makes its way into drinking water sources.
