Massachusetts STEP Verification
StormTreat Systems is the first stormwater treatment technology to be verified by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Strategic Environmental Partnership or STEP program. The STEP program is a service provided by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to help develop new environmental technologies and to verify their effectiveness. An excerpt from the executive summary of this assessment reads as follows:
“It is the conclusion of this assessment that StormTreat Systems, when sized according to recommended criteria, with proper operation and maintenance, can provide levels of treatment required under Standards 4 and 6, as specified by the Massachusetts DEP Stormwater Management Handbook. Under special circumstances, the system may provide as much as 98% removal of TSS when sized according to design criteria. The system, when configured for recharge can meet Standard 3 and is also likely to meet Standard 5, for land uses with higher potential pollutant loads, when sized according to design criteria.”
The Massachusetts STEP is a member of the Six State Partnership for Environmental Technology, which includes California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. Reciprocal certifications in these states may be available. Please review the report for a third party perspective of our technology by following the link below.

EPA Envirotechnology Innovator Award
The United States Environmental Protection Agency presented its Envirotechnology Innovator Award to StormTreat Systems. This award “represents New England’s most innovative technologies.” The selection process was administered by EPA’s Regional Science Council which evaluated the technology based upon: the ability of the technology to address environmental problems, the ability of the claims to be verified, field trials and, innovativeness.
