Industrial facilities require permits or other authorization from local, state, and/or federal agencies for operation or discharge of wastes.  Whether acquiring an existing operation, starting a new operation, or reviewing your existing operations, ORION can assess one or multiple media for wastes streams and compliance. Wastes in the form of air emissions, wastewater discharge, and solid wastes are subject to limitations by the quantity and concentrations of contaminants.  Strict liability standards for the appropriate hazardous wastes disposal falls on the generator of the wastes.  Therefore, it is imperative to ensure that waste handling and disposal and employee training are current, accurate and documented.

Local, state, and federal agencies have requirements to identify each solid waste stream and it hazardous constituents.  This applies to hazardous wastes, industrial wastes, special wastes, universal, and electronic wastes. ORION conducted and managed contractors for wastewater and storm water assessments and permitting in a multi-state region for a large manufacturing company.  These water assessments identified outstanding issues, implemented corrective actions, training, permitting, and pollution prevention plans.

ORION multimedia assessments ensure accurate timely reporting, permitting, and compliance.  If necessary, ORION can assist our clients in negotiation with agencies to resolve outstanding issues and permitting.
