WATER TAKING - DEWATERING AND DISCHARGE PERMITS

For every project that requires the taking and/or discharging of water, there are governing regulations that must be met, and Aquatech’s specialists are very knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with local and governing regulations, permitting (such as Dewatering AND Discharge Permits, PTTW’s and EASR’s) as well as developing and conducting compliance monitoring and mitigation plans.

Discharge permits are required when discharging into public sewer systems or the natural environment, and groundwater taking permits are required when groundwater is taken for activities such as dewatering and groundwater control. These activities often require hydrogeological and environmental assessment reports prepared by qualified professionals to evaluate the potential impact of the taking or discharge of water, as well as implementing monitoring and mitigation plans required by the permit(s).

Aquatech works from the earliest stages of the project to help you throughout the permitting process and satisfy your monitoring requirements without any unnecessary delays.
