dewatering

Dealing with groundwater during excavation creates two major headaches for contractors: the on-site risk of flooding and schedule delays, and the off-site burden of complex environmental regulation.

At Silver Leaf SWPPP, we eliminate both challenges. We offer turnkey construction dewatering services to contractors working in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado. What truly sets us apart is our end-to-end management approach. We don’t just pump water—we manage the entire project.

Our comprehensive service includes permitting, system design, installation, active dewatering, filtration, environmental testing, and project reporting. By taking ownership of both the technical fieldwork and the administrative paperwork, we ensure your site stays dry, compliant, and on schedule, making your dewatering project simple.

When you hire Silver Leaf SWPPP, we become a seamless extension of your team, managing the dewatering project from the initial design phase through final closeout. Our project management focuses on two critical, non-negotiable goals for your construction site:

1. Keep the Client on Schedule: We ensure the excavation remains consistently dry so your crews can maintain productivity and avoid costly delays.

2. Ensure Water Quality Compliance: We guarantee that all water discharged from your site will consistently meet or exceed the water quality standards required by the State.

We take full ownership of the process, which is why our service is truly turnkey. We ensure both your on-site safety and progress and your off-site regulatory compliance are managed flawlessly, giving you the assurance you need to focus on the rest of your build.

Silver Leaf SWPPP provides the technical expertise to design and install effective dewatering and filtration systems. We ensure these systems efficiently manage water flow and meet all regulatory discharge limits. Our focus is on supporting commercial construction projects across the region. Our experienced field teams handle all on-site work, ensuring safe, continuous operation and keeping your excavation dry, even in the face of sudden flooding. We have expertise managing groundwater challenges for a wide variety of construction scopes, including:

• Commercial Foundations

• Utility Excavations

• Flooding and Stormwater Management Systems

• Contaminated Groundwater Remediation

• Stream Diversion Projects

• Concrete Hydro-demolition

Dealing with government agencies and environmental regulations can be time-consuming and costly if not managed properly. As an environmental consultant, Silver Leaf SWPPP completely removes this administrative burden. We leverage our deep experience and established relationships with state and local governments to handle all necessary paperwork.

We ensure your dewatering project has the proper permits and that your site remains compliant from day one to closeout. Our services include:

• Permit Acquisition: Obtaining necessary authorizations, including the Construction Dewatering and Hydrostatic Testing Permit (UTG070000), the Treated Groundwater Permit (UTG790000) for contaminated sites, and Stream Alteration Permits with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state water rights divisions.

• Proactive Compliance Testing: Our trained staff conducts weekly sampling, promptly delivering samples to accredited laboratories.

• Full Reporting and Documentation: We write and submit all required reports to the State and through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We keep a digital record of all documentation in our software, ensuring reports are readily available to you and government agencies.

This end-to-end compliance management guarantees you avoid costly stop-work notices and penalties, allowing you to focus purely on your construction schedule.
