ELPS provides comprehensive lifecycle support—from permitting and operation to management and dispute resolution—based on an in-depth understanding of point and non-point source characteristics and their regulatory frameworks.
For point sources, key tasks include obtaining permits for wastewater discharge facilities, reviewing compliance with discharge standards, and conducting technical diagnostics and improvement planning under the Water Environment Conservation Act. ELPS offers practical, field-oriented solutions such as performance diagnostics of treatment facilities, response strategies for exceedances, and data error analysis, along with legal advisory services for administrative inspections and enforcement actions.
Given the diffuse nature of non-point source pollution, systematic data collection and analysis at the watershed level are essential. ELPS supports clients with watershed-level source analysis, pollutant load forecasting, and the review of LID (Low Impact Development) and BMP (Best Management Practices) implementation, assisting in the preparation of reduction plans and environmental impact assessment documentation.
In cases involving environmental disputes or administrative penalties due to exceedances or unauthorized discharges, ELPS develops response strategies based on factual and legal analysis and represents clients in environmental dispute resolution, administrative appeals, and civil and criminal litigation. By providing both technical and legal services, ELPS ensures swift and precise responses to unexpected environmental risks.
