Water & Wastewater

330 CONSULTANTS LISTED

Water and wastewater consultants manage discharge compliance under the Clean Water Act — NPDES permit applications and renewals, industrial pretreatment program compliance, discharge monitoring reports, and sampling programs that stand up to agency review. Typical work includes effluent characterization, treatment system troubleshooting, sewer-use permit negotiation with local treatment works, and drinking water compliance under the Safe Drinking Water Act for facilities operating their own systems. Many also support certified-operator requirements and respond to notices of violation with corrective action plans agencies accept. Expect sampling done to 40 CFR part 136 methods, monitoring reports submitted accurately and on time, and a clear explanation of which permit limits are at risk and what it takes to stay under them.
