3 Alternatives to Construction for Thermal Compliance
Surface water dischargers throughout the country are required to comply with the limitations set forth in their discharge permit. In many states, this includes thermal limitations which were implemented to protect fish and other aquatic life from mortality, immobilization, loss of equilibrium, impaired growth, adverse reproductive effects, and other sub-lethal effects. In Wisconsin, NR 102 Subchapter II, which was finalized in September 2010, instituted water quality standards for temperature for the first time. For the next two years, discharge permit reissuances slowed considerably as the Wisconsin Department of [...]
Understanding Why You Need WET Tests
Many industries throughout the country rely on the use of water for their business and manufacturing processes. (Think about it – you do your laundry in a washing machine at home.

The few gallons from your load of laundry, not such a [...]
Design/Build Provides Flexible Solutions – Case Study
Check out one of our recently completed projects! As production increased at the Jim Falls facility, so did the amount of wastewater produced, including high-strength wastewater (HSW). While the ridge and furrow (R&F) system had initially been able to effectively treat the wastewater from the facility, it was proving inadequate for the increased flow and loading. Even after the facility began to divert HSW and haul it offsite for disposal, the R&F was not able to accommodate the plant’s requirements. A long-term solution to effectively treat the facility’s process wastewater [...]
Spring Maintenance Here in the Midwest

Regardless of what type of facility you have, there's sure to be some maintenance required at this time of year. Whether you have a pond system, activated sludge plant, or digester, some portion of your plant exists outdoors. Getting fresh air filters or pre-filters on blowers are imperative at this time of year before trees and plants start to pollinate and before [...]
