Stormwater Management & Water Quality

Environmental Advantage, Inc. (EA) can help your facility maintain compliance with various stormwater management and water quality regulations.  We offer help with permitting, planning, training, monitoring, reporting, and other related services.  Our team works diligently to ensure our clients are meeting the applicable federal, state, and local agency requirements for current regulations.  The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Multi-Sector General Permit for industrial activities sets forth specific requirements and reporting deadlines for stormwater discharges, effluent limitations, and stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP).  EA stays up to date with regulations to ensure your facility is compliant with NYS and other applicable standards.

The team at EA can assess your current policy, complete the required permitting, inspect your facility, and create a SWPPP, if applicable.  Sample collection requirements differ based on the specific facility and location.  EA’s team of project managers and environmental scientists ensure that sample collection, reporting, and inspections are completed and submitted within the applicable time frames.  If your facility requires assistance with water quality or stormwater management, call EA today to set up a consultation.  Our staff works to ensure that our clients meet their compliance deadlines.  We can assist facilities with all of the below services:
