Do I need an SWPPP/SWP3?
Check the TCEQ and local requirements — construction stormwater authorization is commonly triggered at one acre of disturbance or as part of a larger common plan.
ALFA can prepare the site-specific SWP3/SWPPP and coordinate it with civil plans.
Do I need detention for my property?
There is no universal yes/no — local criteria explain the common triggers, and the answer depends on your specific project data.
ALFA can compare existing/proposed runoff and determine whether detention or another approved approach is needed.
Do I need a drainage study for my project?
Requirements depend on jurisdiction, acreage, impervious cover, outfall and floodplain conditions — always check the local criteria.
ALFA can determine the drainage-analysis scope and prepare calculations, exhibits and reports.
