• POWER WASHING
  • Power Washing uses a heated, high-Pressure stream of water to penetrate through layers of dirt, grime, mildew, and other things sticking to hard surfaces. Get the best of both worlds without being abrasive.
  • Infuses high temperature heated water prior to application.
  • Provides a deeper clean, at high temperature, without the use of chemicals.

• PRESSURE WASHING
  • Pressure Washing uses a high-Pressure cold stream of water to penetrate through superficial layers of dirt and grime.
  • Requires long term direct pressure that can cause damage without professional application.

Dewatering operations in California are overseen by the state’s Regional Water Quality Control Boards. There are nine of these RWQCBs spread throughout the state, each of which determines which types of waterwaste discharge need to be regulated in their region. Each Regional Board regulates these listed effluents under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Any facility that discharges a regulated effluence has to acquire an NPDES permit for that region in order to do so. Dewatering operations that include discharging waterwaste into storm drains and water bodies need to be carried out in strict adherence to the terms set out in the NPDES permit.

No. Depending on the type and/or quality of the water to be discharged, other options that do not require an NPDES permit are available. These include discharging to a landowner or facility by special agreement, re-use as construction site water, discharge to a sanitary sewer, or use of a subcontractor such as Green Clean that specializes in the removal, transportation, and disposal of dewatering effluent.

The San Diego Municipal Code defines ëillegal dischargeí as any discharge to the storm drainage system that is not composed entirely of storm water.

It is a common misperception that if the water doesn’t look dirty or smell bad, then it’s not polluted. Although some common pollutants such as sediment, oil & grease, and petroleum hydrocarbons are easy to identify with a trained eye, many pollutants are odorless and colorless and can only be determined through laboratory testing.

Discharged wastewater from construction sites can contain chemical and bacterial contaminants that can negatively affect the health of the surrounding water bodies. Regulating dewatering operations ensures that pollutants do not enter the storm drain system and contaminate the receiving water bodies such as our lakes, bays and oceans.

Yes. Any discharge into the storm drainage system that is not comprised purely of storm water is considered to be an illegal discharge. Engaging in the illegal discharge of waterwaste through the storm drainage system is considered to be a violation of the San Diego Municipal Code.

No. pH indicates how basic or acidic the water is by measuring the concentration of hydrogen ions. pH is only one of the tests used to determine if the water is polluted. It does not measure concentrations of other harmful pollutants such as bacteria and heavy metals.

Yes. Many types of storm waters are not regulated by the NPDES system depending on the region you are located in. There is variety of options for dealing with different types of wastewater, such as arranging to discharge it to the property owner, designating a specialized facility or properly recycling the water onsite for your construction processes. (Municipal laws apply) You can option to contract a company like Green Clean Water and Waste to remove the contaminated water & waste for management and disposal services.
