To control water contamination from both  municipal, industrial and commercial facilities that discharge wastewater, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). This program addresses water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants to water of the United States. 

The NPDES program require the obtainment of a NPDES permit to purveying establishments. NPDES will monitor discharge by taking samples, inspecting sites periodically, and by implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs).   

The appropriate management of hazardous and non-hazardous solid waste is regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) law. This law defines the waste management program mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The RCRA Subtitle regulations require that facilities that transport, store, or dispose (TSDF) of hazardous or municipal solid waste obtain a RCRA Part A or Part B Permit.  

Our capabilities include everything from conducting initial site assessment to final closure of the facility.

ECG  will provide support by evaluating your site, obtaining the adequate permit and implementing a program for full compliance within the allotted permit requirements.  

ECG offers to prepare environmental plans, training systems, and program development to maintain update with all local and state environmental regulations.

See below some of the most common plans required by local and state agencies: 

Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans 

SPCC Plans are required for any bulk storage facilities that have an aggregate aboveground storage capacity greater than 1,320 gallons or a completely buried storage capacity greater than 42,000 gallons. 

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWP3) 

A storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) is a fundamental requirement of storm water permits. A SWPPP: identifies all potential sources of pollution, describes practices to be used to reduce pollutants, and helps assure compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit (when the plan is designed for the individual site, and is fully implemented). 

Pollution Prevention Plans (P2) 

Pollution prevention plan is essential to reduce, eliminate, or prevent pollution at its source. Reducing the amount of pollution produced means less waste to control, treat, or dispose of. Less pollution means less hazard posed to public health and the environment.
