Larsen pioneered new concepts in stormwater management in the 70's. These concepts have proven themselves over the years and are, in fact, still being used.
These concepts preserve land adjacent to streams, provide for temporary storage of rainfall run-off, require sedimentation control during construction, and consider multi use of detention basins.
Proper stormwater management programs can result in lower storm sewer costs; provide linear parks, walkways, and bikeways adjacent to streams; eliminate flooding; prevent soil erosion; eliminate poorly drained areas; and utilize parking lots, public parks, and recreational areas for temporary storage of infrequent excessive rainfall events.
