What we do
Named programs, not generic “environmental services.”
// 01
Contract Plant Operations
Day-to-day operation of water and wastewater treatment facilities under a licensed operator, including reporting, sampling, and process control.
// 02
NPDES / TDEC Permit Compliance
Discharge monitoring, permit renewals, and compliance tracking against the specific NPDES permit and TDEC program governing your facility.
// 03
Corrective Action & TDEC Order Response
Direct response to TDEC Director’s Orders and notices of violation — corrective action plans, remediation timelines, and agency correspondence.
// 04
Cross-Connection & Backflow Programs
Backflow prevention testing, cross-connection control surveys, and program documentation for municipal water systems.
// 05
RTCR & Water Quality Assessments
Revised Total Coliform Rule Level 1 assessments and other water-quality-triggered evaluations, delivered agency-ready.

Pretreatment Program Support
Industrial user permitting, local limits, and pretreatment ordinance support for municipal agencies managing an industrial user base.
Why municipalities call us instead
Local knowledge. Permit-ready documentation. No hand-off to a junior consultant.
// 01
The operator IS the consultant
Our lead operator runs an active City of Memphis treatment plant. Every SOP and TDEC response is informed by someone who’s on a plant floor every day.
// 02
Program-specific, not generic
We name the exact TDEC program, permit type, and agency you’re dealing with — TMSP, pretreatment, RTCR — instead of vague “environmental compliance” language.
// 03
One relationship, two capabilities
Need a lift station rebuilt and the site regraded too? Our Construction Division handles that under the same standard, one point of contact.
