Marina NPDES Compliance

Privately owned and operated sanitary sewer systems located in Miami-Dade County are required to function properly

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requires that boatyards and marinas follow the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for plans, permits, and discharge monitoring. The NPDES is a provision of the Clean Water Act and prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters in the United States.

Understanding the complexities of stormwater pollution discharge regulations can be daunting for marina and boatyard personnel. Although employees are required to reduce toxic discharge and prevent industrial pollutants from entering stormwater discharges, they are not always adequately trained.

Industrial activity in marinas and boatyards—such as routine cleaning, boat repair/handling/storage, and equipment maintenance—combined with detrimental weather conditions common to Florida often lead to extreme pollution of stormwaters and waterways.

Our clients appreciate our turnkey solutions. We eliminate the stresses associated with the permit renewal process by streamlining your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and reviewing/updating your Best Management Practices (BMP).
