Happy World WATER Day: ALL4 Water Services

Happy (Early) World Water Day! World Water Day is an annual United Nations observance on March 22 that began in 1993 to highlight the importance of fresh water. As ALL4’s Water Lead, I thought World Water Day was the perfect opportunity to update our clients on ALL4’s rapidly growing Water Services and how our services contribute to the protection of water resources!

Industrial Wastewater Permitting and Compliance

ALL4 supports our clients with all manner of industrial wastewater permitting and compliance including National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) modification and renewal permitting (if you missed our webinar, check out the recording or our blog), renewal and modification permitting for indirect dischargers [Significant Industrial User/Significant Industrial Discharge/Categorical Industrial User (SIU/SID/CIU)], reasonable potential and antidegradation analyses, sampling, and compliance reporting. Need help with an upcoming modification or renewal application? Having trouble understanding the “why” behind onerous permit requirements or upcoming changes to discharge regulations? Not sure if a change planned at your facility requires wastewater permitting? One of our experts can help!

Industrial Stormwater Permitting and Compliance

ALL4 supports clients with industrial stormwater coverage from state or United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) multi-sector general permits (MSGP) or individual stormwater permit coverage, including:

• Notice of Intent (NOI)/Note of Termination (NOT)
• Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) development and updates
• Sampling
• Inspections
• Compliance reporting
• Training
• Evaluation of water quality trends

ALL4 can also evaluate and support with no exposure certifications (NEC) or no potential to discharge evaluations for applicable states. ALL4 tracks general permit renewals at the state level and keeps our clients and readers up to date on changes. Check out our Lookahead blog on resiliency planning in stormwater permits at the U.S. EPA and state level.

Wastewater Design, Operation, and Troubleshooting

The acquisition of our Boston office in 2024 brought expertise with wastewater treatment system design, operation, and troubleshooting! The Boston office supports clients with design solutions to mitigate compliance concerns, upgrade aging systems, or accommodate production changes. They also provide training courses for Massachusetts Wastewater Operator exam preparation and Training Contact Hours (TCHs). ALL4 is excited to be able to offer these services to our clients.

Water Resources

Not only does ALL4 help clients protect water from a permitting and compliance perspective, we also harness the power of water through the design and permitting of water control infrastructure. Whether it be stormwater modeling to support the design of stormwater management control, hydraulic modeling for streambank restoration, or inspection and redesign of regulated dams, ALL4 has Professional Engineers and Geologists on staff who can support various Water Resources projects.

Drinking Water Support

ALL4’s rapidly expanding water services area allows us to support clients with public water supply permitting, water system sampling and reporting, and public water system emergency response plan preparation. And if you’re unsure of the Lead and Copper Rule requirements (or are a bit tardy with submittal), we can help with that too!

Water Support Services

Other water-related services ALL4 can support our clients with include:

• Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans
• Facility Response Plans (FRP) – including the new Clean Water Act (CWA) Hazardous Substances FRP
• Best Management Practices (BMP) plans
• State-required contingency plans
• Laboratory Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) review
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permitting
• Compliance auditing

As ALL4’s Water Lead, I am thrilled to see the growth in water service offerings over the past several years – and we aren’t done growing!
