National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System - NPDES

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System or NPDES program is a federal program (generally administered by individual states) that controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into U.S. waters. Groundwater, construction dewatering water and other sources are discharged to the storm drain under the NPDES program.

Pure Effect provides a turnkey treatment package that completely handles the requirements of the NPDES program. We evaluate the waste water stream; design and engineer the groundwater treatment system; prepare and submit the NPDES permit application; obtain the permit; place the treatment process (rental or sale); manage the Monitoring and Reporting Program, as required by the NPDES program; provide all sampling, analysis, and reporting as required.

Sewer Discharge

Many areas allow the discharge of construction dewatering water into sewer systems. However, some areas do not allow groundwater discharge to the sewer.

Pure Effect can assist you in evaluating this discharge option, and provide a complete package for dealing with it. We evaluate the waste water stream; design and engineer the treatment system; prepare and submit the sewer discharge permit application; obtain the permit; place the treatment process (rental or sale); manage the Monitoring and Reporting Program as required; provide all required sampling, analysis, and reporting. We provide service in Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego County and all of Southern California.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan [SWPPP]

A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a formal permit process that addresses stormwater treatment (surface water) discharges from these sites. This process is required for most construction sites. Pure Effect can assist in evaluating and writing the SWPPP for your project, including potential requirements for treating storm water discharges to meet the requirement of this program. Pure Effect can also assist you with the monitoring and reporting requirements of this permit program.
