In many states, water quality is one of the most mature regulatory programs, and also one of the most complex. Whether you discharge process or sanitary wastewater, or only stormwater, our environmental attorneys can explain in clear terms the requirements that may apply, and the exemptions that are available. Certain water quality rules apply to industry sectors, for example, electroplating and dairy products processing operations, and discharges from these operations to sanitary sewers, and in some cases, water bodies, must meet established limits. EPA's stormwater program applies not only to discharges associated with industrial activity, but also to construction. We know the rules, can provide compliance advice, and assist in the permit process. If an enforcement proceeding is brought by EPA or DEC, we understand that the relationship between the facility and the government is an ongoing one, and that you must emerge from the proceeding with the ability to stay in business and operate in compliance. We have successfully defended clients in these matters, while leaving the relationship intact.
