Storm drain cleaning in Pompano Beach, FL

Pompano operates a City MS4 under FDEP NPDES Phase II, with eastside properties draining toward the Intracoastal and Hillsboro Inlet via tidal outfalls. The industrial west side generates much heavier sediment, hydrocarbon, and metals loads, which is why many of those sites also operate under an NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) in addition to their site ERP.

For HOAs and commercial sites built since the 1990s, the SFWMD ERP carries an O&M inspection obligation under the updated Chapter 62-330 rule — qualified-inspector certification is typically acceptable for the routine inspection.

Pompano's split personality shows in the work. Named work on the industrial side: a Powerline Road manufacturing plant where the interceptor upstream of the ERP-permitted detention pond hadn't been vacuumed in over four years — remediation ran across a month with sediment disposal manifests filed for MSGP records. A Copans Road warehouse cluster where truck-yard runoff was fouling the shared collector pipe; the fix pulled inlet hoods, added filter inserts, and put every tenant on a shared monthly cleaning schedule. A FEC-corridor logistics site where a bypass on the oil-water separator had been left open by a previous contractor — flagged during CCTV, corrected, and documented for the site's MSGP file.

Beachside is a different rhythm. Named condo work along A1A, Hillsboro Mile, and the Hillsboro Inlet shoulder involves scheduling around valet, patio dining, and low tide — most beachside cleaning happens between 5:00 and 9:00 AM. The 1960s-vintage buildings north of Atlantic Boulevard have cast-iron outfall gates that need annual inspection for barnacle-driven seizure; the newer glass towers on the Hillsboro Inlet side generally have duckbill valves but need annual saltwater-intrusion assessments up the outfall pipe.

Commercial retail on Federal Highway and Sample Road — Pompano Marketplace, the Sample commercial spine — runs on twice-yearly cleaning with post-storm sweeps. Compliance sits under the City of Pompano MS4 (NPDES Phase II) with SFWMD ERP recurrence under Chapter 62-330 for the newer stock, and MSGP for the industrial west side. Every service ships with the documentation format the City, SFWMD, and MSGP file each expect.
