Water Permits & Plans

NPDES permitting, SPCC plans, floodway approvals, water withdrawal, and certified drinking water support.

We simplify permitting and planning across stormwater, wastewater, floodway, and drinking water programs—so you stay compliant and operational.

NPDES Stormwater & Wastewater

Coverage selection, NOI/registrations, SWPPP setup, sampling plans, and reporting workflows that stay audit-ready.

Industrial Stormwater NOI (general permit)
Individual stormwater permits (when GP won’t fit)
NPDES general permits (stormwater & wastewater)
Sampling plans, DMR alignment, annual summaries

Plans, Floodway, Withdrawal & Drinking Water

Practical plans and permit packets that match your site conditions and deadlines—without overcomplicating the process.

SPCC plans (40 CFR 112) + inspections/readiness
Construction in a floodway (packet + H&H coordination)
Water withdrawal applications + reporting calendars
Certified drinking water operator support (small systems)

Fast path to compliance

From intake → submittal → audit-ready operations

If you have a deadline, include it — we’ll confirm the fastest compliant path and what to do first.

Start the Finish Line Request a deadline check

STEP 1

Intake

State, site, discharge type, outfalls, target dates.

→

STEP 2

Coverage & Plan

GP vs. individual; SWPPP/SPCC/floodway needs; analytes.

→

STEP 3

Build & Submit

NOI/packet, sampling plan, NetDMR alignment, QC.

→

STEP 4

Maintain

Inspections, sampling, DMRs, annual reports — evidence ready.

Industrial Stormwater NOI (General Permit)

We confirm sector eligibility, prepare the Notice of Intent (NOI), align your SWPPP with permit conditions, and establish inspection/sampling schedules.

What We Do

Eligibility screening (SIC/NAICS mapping, co-located activities)
NOI preparation & electronic submittal
SWPPP authoring/updating (site map, BMPs, outfalls)
Inspection & sampling program setup with triggers
Benchmark monitoring & exceedance response (AEC/CAP)
Corrective actions with owners, timelines, and evidence

What You Get

Draft NOI package and portal instructions
SWPPP PDF + editable source files
Inspection forms & sampling plan with hold times
Calendar of compliance milestones

Compliance cues: benchmark monitoring (often quarterly), annual report, SWPPP kept current.

Stormwater Permit & Plan

NPDES General Permits (Stormwater & Wastewater)

We identify the correct coverage pathway, prepare registration packages, and set up recordkeeping that feeds DMRs and annual reports.

Coverage determination & outfall inventory
Sampling plans, analytes, and hold times
Quarterly/annual report templates
DMR alignment and submission cadence
Parameter mapping to technology/Water Quality limits
Non-detect handling, qualifiers, and data validation notes

DMR guardrails: we pre-flag hold-time issues, J/Q qualifiers, and outlier rechecks before submittal.

Sampling & Reporting

Construction in a Floodway

We coordinate jurisdiction confirmation and prepare technical exhibits for work in regulated floodways, partnering with engineers when needed.

Key Tasks

Floodway/floodplain mapping & zone confirmation
H&H support coordination (HEC-RAS inputs)
No-rise/encroachment certification coordination (where applicable)
Application package & agency liaison
Mitigation & construction BMP documentation

Typical Exhibits

Site plans with grading and limits of disturbance
Cross-sections & modeled water surface impacts
Erosion/sediment control sheets & sequencing
Access/staging & dewatering details
Responder access/egress and staging diagrams

Timing tip: allow extra time for H&H back-and-forth and seasonal access constraints.
