RESPEC PROJECT

The Challenge

Our client needed RESPEC to prepare a renewal of an existing DPCC DCR spill plan. This Discharge Prevention Control and Countermeasure and Discharge clean up and removal plan was required due to the greater than the 20,000-gallon storage capacity of hazardous materials as well as multiple oil storage locations.

The Solution

Comprehensive Industrial Environmental Compliance and Permitting – Mercer County, New Jersey

Air Quality Permitting and Compliance

RESPEC prepared permit modification applications in RADIUS for new or relocated equipment, prepared general permits and submitted renewal fees.  In addition, we assisted with recordkeeping, reporting, and monitoring compliance requirements as identified in the facilities air quality permits.

NPDES – Stormwater Permitting and Compliance

Permit modification applications were prepared for the NPDES stormwater permit and we also assisted with recordkeeping, reporting, and monitoring compliance requirements as identified in the current permit. In addition, RESPEC prepared updates to the client’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Best Management Practices and facility map to meet current permit requirements. Community Right-to-Know Reporting

Prepared and submitted annual Community Right-to-Know (CRTK) report for the facility. As part of the reporting process, RESPEC reviewed chemical inventory data for inclusion in the CRTK report and prepared the CRTK report using the NJDEP online system. RESPEC provided a draft CRTK report for review and comment prior to electronic submittal.

RCRA-Hazardous Waste and Universal Waste Compliance

RESPEC provided assistance in complying with waste regulations.  Our assistance included preparing waste profiles and waste determinations, determining generator status, updating the Hazardous Waste Contingency Plan and Universal Waste Management Plan and submitting waste reports.

Environmental Management System – ISO 14001

RESPEC prepared an Environmental Management System (EMS) Manual and Database in accordance with the Second Edition International Standard ISO 14001.  The project included a review of existing environmental management programs; identification, evaluation and control of environmental aspects; identification and review of legal requirements, documenting EMS structure and responsibilities, and developing a training matrix and a master document list.

The Results

All business areas are now properly permitted and compliant with federal, state and local environmental regulations. An ISO 14001 Environmental Management System manual and database have been outlined and personnel trained on implementation.
