    Regulatory Compliance and Facility Improvements

    In many instances, RSB has assumed operation of facilities that were under “Agreed Orders” from the State Regulatory Agencies or were experiencing regulatory scrutiny due to routine violations of permit limits.

    We take great pride in our ability to evaluate existing infrastructure and improve performance without spending large sums of money. This capability has helped RSB develop an excellent reputation and working relationship with State and other regulatory agencies.

    Call RSB for a facility evaluation before hiring an engineer as permit violations are frequently due to substandard certified operation and maintenance rather than inadequate facilities.

    Overview of Wastewater Permits in the US

    In the United States, the management and regulation of wastewater discharges are primarily governed by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), a key program under the Clean Water Act. This program, administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is fundamental to ensuring environmental compliance and safeguarding the nation’s water bodies from the potential harms of industrial and municipal discharges of pollutants.

    Wastewater permits, a vital aspect of this environmental compliance, are issued under the NPDES program. These permits set precise limits on the type, quantity, and frequency of pollutants that a facility can legally discharge into a body of water. They are granted by either the EPA or authorized state environmental agencies, and the permitting process is comprehensive. It takes into account the nature of the discharge, available treatment technologies, water quality standards, and potential environmental impacts. With these permits, the United States maintains a robust regulatory mechanism for environmental compliance, effectively protecting its water resources and public health.

    A wastewater permit in the US is an authorization granted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or a state environmental agency, allowing the discharge of treated wastewater into surface waters in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).

    Discharging wastewater without a permit is illegal and can lead to severe penalties, including heavy fines and potential legal action, as it’s a violation of the Clean Water Act.
