Retention Basins and Erosion Control

From retention and detention basins to swales, silt fencing, and riprap, we build the features that keep your site in compliance with environmental and municipal stormwater regulations throughout construction.

  • Retention and detention basin grading and lining
  • Swale construction and outlet stabilization
  • Silt fence, erosion blanket, and sediment trap installation
  • NPDES and Massachusetts stormwater compliance support
  • Permanent and temporary erosion control measures

Sediment Stays On Site.
Every Time.

Compliance
NPDES and DEP Ready

We build erosion and sediment controls that satisfy NPDES Construction General Permit conditions and Massachusetts DEP stormwater standards from the first day of site disturbance.

Adaptability
Temporary Through Permanent

We install temporary erosion controls at mobilization, maintain them through construction, and transition to permanent basins, riprap, and vegetated swales at closeout.

Experience
Proven Across Massachusetts

Massachusetts stormwater standards are built into every basin and swale we construct, across multifamily, commercial, and municipal projects statewide.

Common Questions

What developers, GCs, and municipalities typically ask before engaging IR Campbell for erosion control and retention basins.

Yes. We install temporary erosion controls at the start of construction, maintain them as site conditions change, and transition to permanent measures, including seeded basins, riprap outlets, and vegetated swales, as the project reaches closeout.
Basin sizing and location are set by your approved stormwater management plan, based on peak-flow and recharge requirements from DEP and the local conservation commission. We build to the approved design.
Yes. We inspect and maintain silt fence, sediment traps, and other controls as site conditions change, which is standard practice for staying in compliance with your NPDES permit.
Silt fence, erosion control blankets, sediment traps, swale stabilization, and riprap outlets, selected based on slope, soil type, and proximity to wetlands or waterways.
