Avoid Costly Fines – Know Your Permit Limits

Are you confident your facility is operating within its discharge permit limits?

Each week, we bring you quick, actionable tips to help keep your water operations compliant and efficient. For this Compliance Tip Tuesday, we focus on a simple yet critical aspect: understanding your discharge permit limits.

Why It Matters:

Your NPDES or WDR permit outlines exactly what your facility can and cannot discharge. Exceeding these limits—even unintentionally—can lead to enforcement actions, fines, and even facility shutdowns.

Compliance Tip:

Regularly review your permit requirements with your operations team. Highlight any constituents near compliance thresholds and ensure all team members know where to find and interpret the permit language. A quick refresher can prevent a major violation.

Bonus Tip:

Schedule a quarterly internal audit or third-party review of your monitoring data. Superior Water Consulting can help identify red flags before regulators do.
