Wastewater

Water pollution degrades surface waters making them unsafe for drinking, fishing, swimming and other activities.  The design and development of wastewater plants is crucial to the maintenance and growth of our environment.  The Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program control water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States.

In order to comply with these regulations, a company must complete a number of different tasks such as the assessment of air, effluent and water quality, evaluation of land use patterns and community growth, preparation of mitigation reports, incorporation of landscape and habitat features, the analysis of feasibility and environmental impact studies, and the development of construction and restoration plans for nearby habitats, especially wetlands.
