EnviroGroup Limited reduces the burden of regulatory compliance
by helping clients efficiently prepare permit applications, plans, and reports
for all major environmental regulatory programs. We specialize in streamlined
permitting of multiple facilities, first helping corporate staff develop model
programs, and then working with each plant to end up with practical, customized plans.
Our staff includes former regulatory and industrial sector managers who understand
your need for timely and practical services under the following regulatory programs:
Clean Water Act
EnviroGroup has prepared Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans
for over 100 facilities in five states. We have helped clients obtain NPDES permits
and optimize pretreatment systems to meet categorical discharge standards. We
always look first to general permits to minimize client burdens.
EnviroGroup has developed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for over
20 facilities in nine states including metals refineries, ceramics plants, and other
industrial facilities. We help clients respond to agency questions concerning
elevated storm water sample results and, when necessary, improve storm water management
procedures, infrastructure, and treatment systems.

for information on EnviroGroup’s surface water and sediment investigation and
remediation services.
Project Descriptions:
Clean Air Act
EnviroGroup provides complete Clean Air Act permitting and compliance services. We
know our way around mining and industrial facilities — in fact, our team of
permitting specialists includes the former plant manager of a metals processing
facility, who has extensive firsthand CAA permitting and compliance experience. Other
members of our team can provide realistic emissions estimates and dispersion modeling to
resolve the most complex permitting issues.
We have also developed practical programs under the Accidental Release Prevention
Program and Risk Management Planning regulations, working with plant officials to use
existing procedures and minimize the need for new requirements.

for complete regulatory planning, compliance, and support services.
Project Descriptions:
RCRA
EnviroGroup provides comprehensive RCRA permitting, reporting, and compliance advisory
services for industrial and natural resource facilities across the country. We have
extensive experience helping environmental managers deal with generator, waste management
issues, recycling, and land disposal restrictions, and unravel the complications of the
Bevill exclusion regulations. EnviroGroup prepared a RCRA guide for the Lead Industry
Association, to help users and recyclers of lead products stay in compliance.

for RCRA Corrective Action services, including RCRA Facility Investigations and
Corrective Measures Studies.
Project Descriptions:
EPCRA (TRI — Form R)
EnviroGroup staff has extensive experience helping clients complete Chemical Inventory
Reports (Tier II) and Toxic Release Inventory Reports (Form R’s) under the Emergency
Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
Running out of time and short staffed? We can help you make the deadlines, efficiently
and at low cost.

Selected Project Descriptions
SPCC Permits, Multiple Aggregate Facilities
EnviroGroup prepared and provided engineering certification for Spill Prevention,
Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans at more than 100 aggregate, concrete ready-mix,
and asphalt batching facilities in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Kansas, and Missouri.
Our approach is one of understanding the unique characteristics and operational constraints
of the individual facility and discussing regulatory requirements with the plant operator
to jointly select proposed modifications, if any are needed, that are practical for the
individual facility.
Storm Water Permits, Multiple Industrial Facilities
EnviroGroup helped the corporate staff of an international industrial client meet storm
water permitting requirements at nearly 50 facilities across the US. We first determined
which facilities were potentially subject to the requirements, eliminating facilities
eligible for permit exemption and providing them with site-specific strategies to
maintain the exemptions. We then worked with individual plant environmental managers to
prepare permit applications (General Permits when available), the Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plans and, when necessary, storm water monitoring plans.
Title V Permit, Metals Processing Facility, CO
EnviroGroup developed the Synthetic Minor Source permit application for the Asarco Globe
Plant in Denver, Colorado. The project included developing an emission inventory of the
facility, modeling of lead, cadmium and other minor metals, and developing emission
factors for more than ten sources at the facility. The project also included integrating
Clean Air Act requirements with site-specific emission limits placed on the facility by
a Consent Decree.
Accidental Release Prevention Program, Industrial Facility, CA
EnviroGroup developed an accidental release prevention program, process safety management
program, and Risk Management Plan for an industrial facility in California that manufactures
chemicals for the electronics industry. We worked closely with the environmental and
engineering managers to integrate new requirements into the procedures and structure
existing under their ISO 9000 program. The new environmental manager commented that the
program was very useable and was not "another plan that sits on the shelf."
Recycling Issues, Metal Processing Facility, PA
EnviroGroup conducted an evaluation of the recyclable material regulations to develop the
proper regulatory classification of materials and associated permit requirements at a
solder manufacturing facility under both RCRA and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Resources rules. Materials evaluated included solder pastes and creams, solder powders,
router dust, electrolytic slimes, zinc chloride dross, flue dusts from solder operations,
solder dross, and scrap metals. Each material was evaluated to determine if it could
be considered a co-product or by-product and if use of the material would constitute
recycling, reclamation, or disposal under the regulations. Appropriate permit requirements
were determined such as no permit, permit by rule, or need for a complete TSD permit
(i.e., for disposal).
Bevill Issues, Mine and Mill Site, US
EnviroGroup reviewed the current status of the Bevill exclusion for mineral extraction
and beneficiation facilities and addressed a number of client questions regarding the
applicability of the exclusion to various by-products, facilities, and geographic areas.
We reviewed all pertinent regulatory determinations, and discussed the issues with both
regional and headquarters EPA staff, as well as key environmental managers in the mining
industry. While many potential applications of the Bevill exclusion are precluded by
clear EPA determinations, we found many areas that EPA indicated could receive positive
determinations, if pursued.
Chemical Inventory and TRI Reporting, metals processing facility, TX
EnviroGroup prepared the Chemical Inventory (Tier II) and Toxic Release Inventory
(Forms R and A) reports for a metals processing facility in Texas for a period of 9 years,
until the facility closed. With our staff’s extensive background in metals processing,
we were able to estimate emissions and releases where measurements were not available.
Our services continued through changes of both plant staff and facility ownership,
providing continuity and consistent reporting over time. |
