Planning, Permitting and Compliance Monitoring

Planning and permitting are integral parts of making a construction project proceed smoothly while ensuring that environmental resources are protected. Typically, a general construction permit includes requirements for plans and permits to protect resources such as air quality and water quality. SAGE has prepared Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), Fugitive Dust Control Plans, UPDES Permit Applications, and Notices of Intent for Construction Dewatering, as well as permit applications for construction within known contaminated areas.

Also of concern during construction planning is whether soil or water contamination may be present on the work site and how that may affect worker safety and impact project schedules. SAGE has prepared Hazardous Material Control Plans to identify potential environmental hazards in a project area and to outline appropriate response procedures. SAGE can respond quickly to collect samples for expedited analysis, allowing us to identify potential worker health and safety issues and determine appropriate methods for the handling and disposal of contaminated materials. Our goal is to keep the project moving while the environmental issues are being addressed.

SAGE also provides on-site compliance monitoring to assure that your project or job site meets its environmental obligations. Our EPA Method 9 certified Visible Emissions Monitor is available to provide on-site monitoring at active construction sites to document compliance with dust control regulations. We also provide routine ground water monitoring at operating industrial facilities and previously remediated sites. SAGE has expertise in the planning and implementation of long-term monitoring programs and the preparation of associated reports. Our focus is on consistency in the collection and handling of samples, thereby reducing variability and simplifying data interpretation.
