Hazardous Waste Management
A regulated "hazardous waste" means your waste exhibits certain hazardous characteristics or your process is listed by the EPA as generating a hazardous waste.
​
Employee training, contingency plan development, storage practices, labeling requirements, inspections, aisle spacing, annual reporting... if you have a hazardous waste, you've likely heard of these requirements.
​
Did you know...
State regulators require companies to conduct and document a "waste determination" for their waste streams to ensure no hazardous waste is sent off-site with the regular trash.
Air Permitting
Perhaps the most complex of all environmental compliance efforts, air permitting requires applying the federal/state/local rules to your unique operation so that clean air quality is available for all to enjoy. Many times there are options for compliance. We shine by using the full width of the rules to present you with the most cost-effective solutions.
​
Major sources, minor sources, Title V permits, Hazardous Air Pollutant rules, ongoing compliance, reporting and recordkeeping, permit renewals. We cover it all.
​
Did you know...
The most common regulator violations and fines result from air permitting issues.
Storm Water Compliance
Back in the early 1990s, the EPA realized that streams, lakes, and rivers were being contaminated by materials that industrial facilities were exposing to rain water. So, the EPA required all industries to consider the need to apply for a permit to allow storm water to discharge from their property, and change the way certain materials were being stored.
​
Employee training, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), routine inspections, outfall monitoring, and best management practices are the new buzz words for this requirement.
​
Did you know...
Most all industries that require a storm water permit also require the storm water outfalls to be monitored every quarter.
Chemical Management Plans
Management plans are required when certain regulated chemicals are present at a facility above certain thresholds. When a facility stores chemicals such as oil products or Extremely Hazardous Substances, a contingency plan is often required that addresses secondary containment, spill response procedures, employee training, routine inspections, and other measures necessary to mitigate a chemical release to the environment.
​
Did you know...
If you have the potential to store 1,320 gallons or more of petroleum-based products, you must have a Spill Response Plan?
Compliance Reporting
Routine reporting efforts, especially those required by the EPA, are a necessary part of compliance. At a minimum, this includes the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reporting effort due by July 1 and the Tier II Chemical Inventory reporting due by March 1. These reports are integral to ensure a facility does not trigger random federal or state compliance visits and enforcement action resulting from non-reporting.

Did you know...
If you use battery-operated fork trucks, it's likely you are subject to chemical reporting due to the sulfuric acid contained in the batteries.
Regulator Penalty Mitigation and Representation
No one gets it right every time. When you're faced with a non-compliance allegation, we can help. Representing a company before regulators can be a delicate balance of respecting the rule of law and regulations while ultimately fighting for a client's best interests... it's the intersection of regulatory knowledge, professionalism, and creativity. We will extensively assess your situation, expose the regulations in your favor, collaborate with local, state, or federal authorities, and where possible, reduce your liability.

Violations issued by the federal government (the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA) typically result in significantly more severe penalties compared to state regulators?
