Local Limits Calculations

From planning out the sampling required to analyzing the data for final reporting to drafting new local limits, we can help at any step along the way

Enforcement Response Plans

Enforcement is the backbone of achieving compliance. A response plan helps you gain that compliance consistently and appropriately. From an update of your current plan to a brand new one, we can help.

Permit Templates

Every permit is different and unique to the business it covers. But a template helps ensure standard language and conditions are not missed while you tailor it to fit the specifics.

Legal Authority

Without the legal authority, a pretreatment program is impossible to implement. We provide the assistance you need to draft the ordinances, take it to governing boards and ensure your program is legally enforceable.

Program Audit/ Gap Analysis

Not ready for your permitting authority to show up for their audit? Looking to identify the gaps in the program before the audit? We can help you prepare before the stakes are too high.

EPA Enforcement Response

Has an audit left you with a to-do list of things to do and not enough time or expertise? Let us help you get back on the right track and in compliance.

Sampling Program

Sampling is how you know what is coming to your treatment plant and where your problems may be. We can assist in setting up a comprehensive sampling program to give you the data to make informed decisions.

Industrial User Survey Program

IU inventories are the start of knowing your service territory and which issues you need to address. A comprehensive program ensures that you aren't missing the industries that matter to your program.

FOG Programs

Fats, Oils, and Grease are one of the most common issues for collections systems and wastewater treatment plants. A FOG program focusing on the elements that matter and adequate maintenance of interceptors can go a long way towards resolving that issue once and for all.

Dental Program

One of the newest regulations to come out in the last 10 years, it is one of the focuses of many EPA audits. Are you keeping up with the Dentists in your territory?

PFAS sampling and source investigations

With leading edge experience in source investigations and sampling for PFAS, we can help your program start to characterize your service area and prepare for upcoming State and Federal regulations.

Connector District Agreements

When serving as the wastewater treatment facility for other jurisdictions, your legal authority must extend into their territory. We can help you draft the language for ordinances to ensure that it does.

Software selection/set-up

Doing more with the same number of people or less requires new techniques and solutions to get there. Can a new software set-up help you get to where you need to be? We can help you find one to match your needs, and your budget too.

Surcharge Development

Legally defendable surcharges can help support your POTW in treating the loadings coming to your plant. We can help you develop and implement surcharges in a legally defensible and practical program.
