Regulatory compliance and licensing are critical to the lawful and sustainable operation of water and wastewater treatment plants, ensuring that discharges meet environmental protection standards and that facilities operate within approved limits. Hydroview Consulting supports clients by preparing and reviewing Environmental Protection Licence (EPL) applications, conducting compliance audits against EPA conditions, and developing practical, site-specific Environmental Management Plans (EMPs). Our team brings expertise in interpreting regulatory frameworks, managing reporting obligations (e.g. load-based licensing, PIRMPs), and liaising with regulators to resolve non-compliances. We apply a methodical approach grounded in environmental risk assessment, stakeholder consultation, and continuous improvement to ensure our clients achieve and maintain regulatory compliance with confidence.

Effective operational support and optimisation are essential for maximising the performance, efficiency, and environmental outcomes of water and wastewater treatment plants. Hydroview Consulting provides targeted technical advice to improve process reliability, reduce chemical and energy use, and address treatment inefficiencies. Our services include troubleshooting of underperforming systems, optimisation of sludge handling and chemical dosing, and development of clear, practical Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). We work closely with operators to identify treatment process, enhance data interpretation, and implement performance monitoring tools that support continuous improvement and informed operational decision-making.

Rapid and informed incident response is critical to minimising environmental harm, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining community and stakeholder confidence. Hydroview Consulting provides expert support during and after environmental incidents at water and wastewater treatment facilities, including spill containment, discharge exceedances, and equipment failures. We assist clients with real-time impact assessments, root cause investigations, and preparation of regulatory notifications and incident reports. Our team develops corrective action plans, reviews contingency procedures, and supports the implementation of practical mitigation measures. With a strong understanding of EPA expectations and site-specific risks, Hydroview helps clients respond swiftly, limit liabilities, and strengthen their environmental risk management frameworks.

Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPs) are essential management tools that outline predefined actions based on specific environmental triggers, such as changes in water quality, quantity, or other key indicators. Hydroview Consulting specializes in developing tailored TARPs, using site-specific data, monitoring systems, and risk assessments to define trigger thresholds and appropriate response actions. We work with clients to create effective plans that ensure quick and efficient responses to environmental shifts, minimize potential impacts, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Our approach helps clients manage risks, maintain operational continuity, and support sustainable water management practices.

Water Management Plans (WMPs) are critical tools for ensuring that water and wastewater treatment facilities manage water use, treatment, storage, and discharge in a controlled, compliant, and efficient manner. Hydroview Consulting develops tailored OWMPs that integrate site-specific processes, regulatory requirements, and environmental constraints. Our plans include water flow mapping, identification of water reuse opportunities, discharge controls, monitoring schedules, and response procedures for exceedances or system failures. Drawing on our expertise in process optimisation, compliance, and environmental risk management, we ensure that each OWMP supports operational clarity, minimises environmental impacts, and aligns with both short-term operational needs and long-term sustainability goals.
