MSHC staff has experience and familiarity with the NPDES General Permits for Stormwater Discharge from Industrial Activity (IGP), Construction Activity (CGP), and the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). Our staff has experience with permitting from Notice of Intent (NOI) through Notice of Termination (NOT). This includes SWPPP preparation, amendment, and implementation. Our staff includes QSDs/QSPs, QISP, and a trainer of record. We provide inspectors and samplers to meet the permit requirements. We have prepared exceedance response action (ERA) documents, rain event action plans (REAPs), and have trained and worked with clients to maintain SMARTS, including uploading annual reports, NOI, and NOT. We help our clients with no exposure certification (NEC), notice of non-applicability (NONA), reduced sampling frequency, and pride ourselves on providing cost-effective solutions for compliance. Our trainer of record provides training for all general NPDES permits and has acted as compliance group leader for over twenty industrial transportation facilities. Due to the recent stormwater discharge standards, some facilities are required to implement advanced BMPs including treatment systems that meet numeric effluent standards. MSHC works with vendors to warranty treatment systems that meet the stringent discharge standards or assist with alternative compliance options. When needed, we assist with NOV response and work with clients to avoid fines. Our clients include construction contractors and developers, industrial facilities, utilities, municipalities, Caltrans, and other transportation agencies.
