The Solution
Comprehensive Industrial Environmental Compliance and Permitting – Mercer County, New Jersey
Air Quality Permitting and Compliance
EARTHRES 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, EARTHRES 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, EARTHRES reviewed chemical inventory data for inclusion in the CRTK report and prepared the CRTK report using the NJDEP online system. EARTHRES provided a draft CRTK report for review and comment prior to electronic submittal.
RCRA-Hazardous Waste and Universal Waste Compliance
EARTHRES 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

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.
