Regulatory Permitting

Regulatory Permitting

Our regulatory permitting services are designed to help clients navigate the complex landscape of environmental regulations, ensuring their operations comply with all relevant local, state, and federal requirements. This offering includes three key areas: emission source air permitting, solid waste facility operations permitting, and process and wastewater treatment facility discharge permitting.

Emission Source Air Permitting

Emission source air permitting is crucial for facilities that release pollutants into the atmosphere. Our services include:

  • Emission Inventories: We conduct thorough assessments to identify and quantify all sources of air emissions within a facility.

  • Permit Applications: We prepare and submit detailed permit applications to regulatory agencies, ensuring all technical data and documentation are accurate and comprehensive.

  • Regulatory and Public Engagement: We facilitate communication with regulatory authorities and the public, addressing concerns and providing technical justifications for proposed emissions levels.

  • Compliance Strategies: We develop and implement strategies to achieve and maintain compliance with permit conditions, including the integration of air pollution control technologies and best practices.

Solid Waste Facility Operations Permitting

For facilities managing solid waste, obtaining the correct permits is essential to operate legally and sustainably. Our services include:

  • Waste Characterization: We assess the types and quantities of waste generated, processed, and disposed of at a facility.

  • Facility Design and Operation Plans: We create detailed plans for the design, construction, and operation of solid waste facilities, ensuring they meet all regulatory requirements and industry standards.

  • Permit Applications: We prepare and submit comprehensive permit applications, including site plans, develop standard operations documents and procedures, and environmental impact assessments.

  • Compliance Monitoring: We establish monitoring programs to track facility performance, detect deviations from permit conditions, develop annual monitoring statements, and implement corrective actions as needed.

  • Closure and Post-Closure Plans: We develop plans for the closure of solid waste facilities and post-closure care to minimize long-term environmental impacts.

Process and Wastewater Treatment Facility Discharge Permitting

Industrial facilities must manage the discharge of treated process and wastewater. Our services include:

  • Wastewater Characterization: We analyze the quality and quantity of wastewater generated by industrial processes to determine the appropriate treatment methods.

  • Treatment System Design: We design effective wastewater treatment systems to meet regulatory discharge limits and protect receiving water bodies.

  • Permit Applications: We prepare and submit detailed permit applications, including treatment system specifications, discharge monitoring plans, and environmental impact assessments.

  • Monitoring and Reporting: We establish and implement monitoring programs to ensure compliance with discharge permit conditions, including regular sampling and analysis of effluent.

  • Compliance Strategies: We develop strategies to optimize treatment system performance and maintain compliance with permit requirements, including process modifications and pollution prevention measures.
