Below is a summary of Waid Environmental's Waste and Wastewater Services:
- Permit and compliance strategy development
Development of a permitting and compliance strategy is affected by
many factors: changing regulations, the possibility that both state and federal
review may be required, the future use of the facility, the location of the
facility with respect to area geology, topography, land use, and short-term
versus long-term permitting considerations, among others. Early evaluation of
these factors can streamline the process and balance the short-term and
long-term needs of the facility.
- RCRA permits
RCRA Permits can be entirely prepared by our staff
or we can assist in preparing any of the individual plans required in the
applications, such as the Waste Analysis Plan, Closure and Post-Closure Plans,
Air Addendum, or Trial Burn Plan. Because of our expertise in the air field, our
staff is particularly adept in permitting hazardous waste combustion units or
facilities subject to the more recent RCRA Organic Air Emissions Standards.
- National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and state waste-water and storm water permits
- Agency negotiations and liaison
Agency negotiations are often necessary during a project, requiring
frequent interaction with regulatory personnel. Major permitting issues are
identified and discussed early in the preparation process to ensure that they
are resolved promptly. Issues that arise during the agency's permit application
review are expeditiously settled due to our frequent contacts with agency staff.
In the latter stages of the permitting process, we negotiate with the agency
staff to obtain permit provisions as reasonable as possible.
- Regulatory analysis
Analysis and interpretation of environmental regulations is a crucial
step in maintaining facility compliance. Our engineering staff reviews new and
amended regulations at both the state and federal levels as they are proposed
and adopted. A thorough knowledge of applicable regulations and the ability to
interpret the requirements is essential in defining control deficiencies and
discharge limits and in reporting and negotiating with the regulatory agencies.
- Compliance audits and compliance resolution
Compliance audits and compliance resolution can be performed to help
achieve and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements and permit
conditions. Our staff is also available to assist clients in resolving
compliance disputes with the regulatory agencies when cited during inspections
or complaints.
- Contingency plans
- Evaluation of source reduction and waste minimization options
- Pollution prevention plans
- Environmental site assessments and inspections
- Environmental audits and risk assessment
- Remedial investigation plans
- SARA Title III reports
