Industrial General Permit
Michael Baker International provides expert compliance services for the
2014 Industrial General Permit through understanding of facility operations,
pollutant sources, cost effective BMP selection/design, hydrology/engineering
and attention to client needs. Our team provides development of compliance
documents (Industrial SWPPP, Permit Registration Documents, monitoring
programs) for dischargers regulated by the permit, always focusing on ways
to efficiently achieve compliance goals with minimal disruption to a facility’s
production area or staff time.
Our staff includes expertise in NPDES regulations, facility inspection, runoff
sampling, and compliance reporting. We have also provided coordination with
regulatory agencies including the State Water Board, Regional Water Boards,
and even local agencies to support enforcement response needs for our clients.
In preparation for the July 1, 2015 compliance date, we have developed a new
SWPPP Template that is responsive to the requirements of the 2014 IGP. We
are working with clients to develop Notice of Non Applicability (NONA) and No
Exposure Certifications (NEC) to ensure that each facility implements the IGP to
the appropriate level.
Our attentive staff will provide expert assistance in the event that facility
sampling results exceed Numeric Action Levels and trigger Exceedance
Response Actions.
