Permitting and Compliance Services
In addition to wetlands and related permitting (see Land Use Licensing and Permitting Services), ELM has extensive experience in designing and preparing other environmental permits for both Federal and state agencies, including: Stormwater discharge permits. Discharge to Surface Water (DSW) permits. Discharge to Groundwater (DGW) permits. DGW Permits-by-Rule. Air quality permits. ELM utilizes a site-specific approach to preparing permit applications that are sensitive to facility and regulatory requirements as well as cost. ELM also prepares reports and other deliverables pursuant to these permits, such as Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and emission inventories.
In addition, ELM’s scientists and engineers develop the necessary compliance plans and engineering controls for facility operators to track and maintain compliance with the applicable regulatory and permit requirements for their facility. These plans include but are not limited to: (1) SWPPPs; (2) SPCC Plans; (3) Discharge Prevention Control and Countermeasures (DPCC) Plans; and (4) site-specific Environmental Management Plans (EMPs). ELM also prepares reports and other deliverables required pursuant to these plans as well as preparing and submitting chemical/material inventories for Community Right-to-Know (RTK) and Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) reporting.
ELM also performs environmental, health, and safety (EHS) compliance audits of all types of industrial and commercial facilities. The results of ELM’s EHS audits provide compliant, practical, and cost-effective solutions to identified conditions of regulatory non-compliance.
