Permit Review & Regulatory Requirement Assessments
Complying with State and Federal Regulations
Active construction and industrial sites often have more stringent regulations than regular commercial and residential properties. AQUALIS assists organizations that find it difficult to maintain compliance across state lines.

AQUALIS has the expertise to anticipate permitting agencies and requirements upfront and efficiently navigate the permitting process with our clients.
Discharging any pollutants from a point source into waters of the United States is prohibited unless authorized by a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Municipalities with these permits are required to comply with their unique MS4 permit requirements and provide annual compliance reports to their regulating authority.
Depending on the activities performed on your site and the state you are located, there are permits required that outline the best practices for preventing pollutants from entering the stormwater system.

Maintaining a Permit
Permitting can be required on local, state and federal levels, depending on the activity. Always consult a knowledgeable professional, such as AQUALIS, to ensure that your project is in regulatory compliance. Operation permits, such as utility permits and stormwater management permits, require ongoing inspection and renewal/recertification by a certified professional. AQUALIS provides inspection service management for scheduling regular inspections, as well as certified inspectors to ensure systems meet permit requirements. AQUALIS also provides maintenance services for keeping systems operating as designed.
Who requires stormwater permits?
Permits are required by federal, state and local governing authorities to ensure that construction and industrial operations are safe for both the public and the environment. Permits are used to ensure that designed systems are up to code. Construction permits are typically issued temporarily and will be closed once construction is complete. Operation permits extend for the life of the system and often require renewal and/or recertification at regular intervals.
Does my project or property require a permit?
If your project alters hydrology (the movement of water), involves land-disturbing activity or discharges materials to a water system, then your project needs a permit. Permits may be required on multiple regulatory levels. AQUALIS can assist clients in identifying which regulations and agencies will require permits for their project, providing peace of mind that compliance is met on all levels.
Is stormwater management required?
Stormwater maintenance is preventative. Regular maintenance ensures the system will continue to operate without major interruptions.
