Regulatory Permitting

Facilities that release pollutants into the atmosphere need air permits. Our services include:

• Emission inventories: thorough assessments that identify and quantify every source of air emissions at a facility.
• Permit applications: detailed applications prepared and submitted to regulatory agencies, with accurate and complete technical data and documentation.
• Regulatory and public engagement: communication with regulators and the public, addressing concerns and providing technical justification for proposed emission levels.
• Compliance strategies: plans to achieve and maintain compliance with permit conditions, including air pollution control technologies and best practices.

Facilities that manage solid waste need the correct permits to operate legally and sustainably. Our services include:

• Waste characterization: assessment of the types and quantities of waste generated, processed, and disposed of at a facility.
• Facility design and operation plans: detailed plans for the design, construction, and operation of solid waste facilities that meet regulatory requirements and industry standards.
• Permit applications: complete applications, including site plans, standard operating documents and procedures, and environmental impact assessments.
• Compliance monitoring: monitoring programs that track facility performance, detect deviations from permit conditions, support annual monitoring statements, and drive corrective actions when needed.
• Closure and post-closure plans: plans for facility closure and post-closure care that minimize long-term environmental impacts.

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

• Wastewater characterization: analysis of the quality and quantity of wastewater from industrial processes to determine appropriate treatment methods.
• Treatment system design: wastewater treatment systems designed to meet regulatory discharge limits and protect receiving waters.
• Permit applications: detailed applications, including treatment system specifications, discharge monitoring plans, and environmental impact assessments.
• Monitoring and reporting: monitoring programs, including regular effluent sampling and analysis, that keep facilities in compliance with discharge permit conditions.
• Compliance strategies: approaches that optimize treatment system performance and maintain permit compliance, including process modifications and pollution prevention.
