We specialize in developing fully compliant Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and Preparedness, Prevention, and Contingency Plans (PPCs) for industrial facilities that are required to obtain regular General Permit coverage. We will also assess if your site qualifies for No Exposure Certification (NEC). Whether you’re starting fresh or updating an outdated plan, our team ensures your site aligns with the regulations.
Why Industrial Stormwater Management Matters
Industrial sites across Pennsylvania face stringent stormwater regulation. Businesses can be faced with regulatory site inspections, notices of violation, and even DEP fines for not sampling or having stormwater sampling exceedances which can also result in daily fines for each violation under the Clean Water Act. Industrial stormwater management is an essential aspect of protecting your operations, minimizing risk, and avoiding costly fines.
Our Approach to NPDES & SWPPP Compliance
Our process begins with a comprehensive site walk conducted by a qualified expert. During this inspection, we:
● Evaluate your site layout and operations
● Identify potential pollutant sources
● Recommend cost-effective Best Management Practices (BMPs)
● Establish stormwater outfalls and sampling points
● Create a facility diagram, a stormwater conveyance and monitoring diagram, and a Monitoring Implementation Plan (MIP)
Each plan is site-specific, clearly written, and not only meets compliance standards, but also helps you achieve cleaner stormwater results.
Need to update your plan? We also revise existing SWPPPs/PPCs to ensure compliance with the 2023 IGP Amendments and any new regulatory requirements. We also handle the submission of the Notice of Intent (NOI) for either General Permit coverage or No Exposure Certification (NEC), depending on your site’s eligibility.

Stormwater Monitoring Services and Stormwater Run-Off Sampling
The Industrial General Permit (IGP) requires industrial businesses within a specific set of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to obtain IGP coverage and comply with the Stormwater Permit monitoring requirements. USA Environmental partners with industrial companies to provide the services needed to fully and affordably comply with permit requirements. USA Environmental creates easy-to-use Monitoring Plans with all required forms and sampling. When we visit your site, we can review records go over records review, assess existing Best Management Practices (BMPs) assessment, general compliance, and any facility specific matters more. USA Environmental can train your existing staff in to effectively implement BMPs implementation and compliant record-keeping methods. We can also complete your Annual Report for you. We also support facilities with NPDES permitting to ensure full alignment with both federal and state stormwater regulations.
Our clients have found our monitoring services to be an extremely convenient and cost-effective way to maintain compliance, reduce risk, and gain peace of mind.
No Exposure Certification (NEC)
For facilities where all industrial materials and operations are completely sheltered from precipitation, we can help determine eligibility for No Exposure Certification (NEC). NEC facilities have less reporting requirements and are not required to sample.
Best Management Practices (BMP) Assessment
Minimum and Advanced BMPs are required by the IGP and are a critical component of compliance. Implementing the appropriate cost effective, site-specific BMPs will prevent stormwater discharge exceedances and is a significant step towards ensuring compliance. USA Environmental Solutions has extensive, wide-ranging experience recommending and implementing facility BMP programs. We’ll assist with planning, BMP design, implementation, and ongoing program oversight.
