Streamlined Water Permitting and Compliance Solutions to Meet Clean Water Act Requirements

The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes strict regulatory requirements for discharges of pollutants to “waters of the U.S.,” including permitting, sampling, and monitoring obligations. We help facilities navigate these complex programs with end-to-end permitting and compliance support, covering wastewater, stormwater, spill prevention, and response planning. With decades of experience, our experts ensure facilities achieve and maintain compliance while minimizing operational risks.

SPCC Plans

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans ensure that facilities have in place containment and other controls that would prevent oil from reaching navigable waters and adjoining shorelines, and to contain discharges of oil should a spill occur.

Water Quality Permitting & Compliance FAQs

The NPDES program, authorized by the Clean Water Act, requires industrial facilities that discharge pollutants to U.S. waters to obtain permits. Separate programs exist for wastewater and stormwater discharges.

Trinity assists with NPDES wastewater permits, pre-treatment permits, land application and reuse permits, and stormwater permits for both construction and industrial activities. We also support zero-discharge permits where applicable.

A SWPPP is a facility-specific plan required under NPDES stormwater permits. It outlines drainage, potential pollution sources, management practices, employee training, and recordkeeping measures to minimize stormwater pollution.

SPCC Plans are required for facilities that could discharge oil in harmful quantities into U.S. waters. They ensure proper containment, procedures, and controls are in place to prevent and respond to spills.

A CWA FRP is required for facilities that store certain hazardous chemicals in large quantities. It demonstrates preparedness to respond to worst-case spill scenarios and must align with National and Area Contingency Plans.
