State and local governments, utilities, landowners, businesses, and communities must navigate National Pollutant Detection and Elimination System (NPDES) Permit compliance through watershed-scale planning.
Geosyntec brings a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory drivers for a wide range of permits, including municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permits, industrial general permits, and construction general permits. Our watershed planners, civil engineers, hydrogeologists, and coastal and flood-control experts address questions of water quantity, flood risk, disaster response, and resilience, employing both traditional infrastructure and nature-based solutions. In partnership with clients, we build best-value solutions to meet challenging and overlapping regulatory requirements and timelines.
Implement strategies for effective watershed management with multiple benefits.
Stormwater clients need innovative approaches to get the most out of aging infrastructure systems. Our team evaluates compliance targets like total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) in the context of water-quality-monitoring data, hydrologic and hydraulic surface-water models, and subsurface condition data to prioritize locations for targeted structural and programmatic solutions. At the same time, we seek solutions that provide flood-control, water-supply, recreation, habitat, and climate-resilience benefits.
Develop technical guidance to facilitate permit compliance.
To maintain compliance, clients need programmatic and technical guidance that keeps pace with changing regulations. We have led applied research and developed guidance on the state and national levels involving low impact development (LID), green infrastructure, and stormwater best management practices (BMPs). As trusted advisors to municipalities, we develop and implement guidance so they can effectively interpret regulations and achieve and maintain compliance.
Support and empower communities.
Durable solutions require internal and external support. This is why people and communities are at the center of Geosyntec projects. Whether through community engagement, education and outreach, or community-based public-private partnerships, Geosyntec works with clients, internal stakeholders, and communities to build consensus and find mutually beneficial solutions.
Track, identify, and secure funding.
To stretch limited budgets and public dollars, clients need innovative approaches and effective project delivery. In collaboration with clients, we identify and apply for grants and assistance to help fund projects and improvements. Our teams have helped secure millions of dollars in funding from federal, state, and local programs.
