Environmental Compliance Services

SRI provides turnkey environmental engineering and regulatory navigation, including Title 22 tank certifications, SWPPPs, SPCC plans, and facility closures. As your trusted environmental engineering consultant, we simplify CERS/CUPA compliance, mitigating operational risks and protecting your permits.

Tank Certification & Title 22 Compliance

In California, operating industrial storage vessels, wastewater clarifiers, or chemical treatment cells requires strict adherence to California Code of Regulations Title 22. Enforced heavily by local Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs) and the DTSC, these regulations dictate that any tank handling hazardous waste or process chemistry must possess independent engineering certification. Non-compliance results in severe enforcement penalties and operational shutdowns.

Solutions Recovery International (SRI) provides turnkey Title 22 tank certification evaluations and mandatory five-year independent hazardous waste tank certification recertifications. Our environmental engineering team conducts rigorous field evaluations, including visual condition assessments, structural integrity testing, corrosion depth mapping, and detailed reviews of seismic anchoring records. We calculate secondary containment fluid capacities, review chemical compatibility constraints, and evaluate concrete crack seals to eliminate leak pathways. As a leading provider of tank certification in California, SRI helps your facility identify practical compliance pathways that satisfy strict California regulators while safeguarding your budget and minimizing production downtime.

Facility Closure Services in San Jose, CA

Decommissioning a production line, retiring old industrial equipment, or executing a complete facility relocation introduces complex environmental liabilities. Vacating an industrial footprint or shutting down active operations requires a systematic approach to handle legacy chemical inventories, process residuals, and hazardous waste streams. Property owners and corporate operators face immense financial and legal risk if closure documentation is incomplete or structural contamination is left unaddressed.

SRI delivers proactive, regulator-ready facility closure planning and decommissioning frameworks that simplify site transitions. We manage the entire lifecycle of industrial closures, including chemical inventory reconciliation, waste characterization profiling, utility isolation sequencing, and equipment decontamination coordination. Our engineers specialize in securing Permit-by-Rule closure clearances and completing necessary wastewater permit terminations. By coordinating directly with local CUPAs, DTSC, and regional sanitation districts, our facility permitting consultants ensure your facility closure is legally sound, removing long-term corporate liability cleanly and efficiently.

Hazardous Materials Programs

Facilities that handle, process, or store hazardous substances, toxic chemicals, or flammable liquids are bound by tight state, federal, and fire code mandates. Managing these materials requires meticulous record-keeping, strict storage separation rules, and absolute transparency with emergency response agencies. In California, failure to accurately report chemical inventories through the electronic California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) or ignoring storage compliance parameters leads to costly daily fines and operational bottlenecks.

SRI builds highly practical, audit-proof Hazardous Materials Programs tailored to your facility’s daily workflow. We manage your entire CERS portal framework, developing comprehensive Hazardous Materials Business Plans (HMBPs), generating exact facility site maps, and organizing chemical matrix disclosures. Our team evaluates your chemical compatibility parameters, conducts waste characterization reviews, establishes container management protocols, and supports hazardous waste generator compliance. We turn complex CUPA or DTSC inspection mandates into clear, manageable daily steps.

Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure (SPCC)

Under the federal oil pollution prevention regulation (40 CFR Part 112), any industrial facility, municipal yard, or utility site storing more than 1,320 gallons of oil in aboveground containers (55 gallons or larger) must implement a formal SPCC Plan. This comprehensive mandate covers petroleum products, heavy lubricants, hydraulic fluids, diesel fuel, waste oil, and even vegetable oils. The regulation is strictly enforced by the EPA to ensure that sudden leaks or equipment failures do not reach local storm drains, creeks, or navigable waters.

SRI provides expert SPCC applicability evaluations, oil storage tracking, and site drainage reviews to isolate high-risk zones. We perform precise engineering calculations for secondary containment vaults, double-walled tank networks, bulk loading racks, and active spill response equipment. Our engineering team designs custom, site-specific SPCC plans and handles mandatory five-year plan modifications or Professional Engineer (PE) certifications, ensuring your facility remains fully compliant.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)

Stormwater enforcement under California’s Industrial General Permit (IGP) and Construction General Permit (CGP) has intensified drastically, exposing facilities to massive regulatory fines and predatory third-party citizen lawsuits. Operations involving outdoor material handling, loading docks, manufacturing, or ground-disturbing construction must deploy a site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to intercept and manage polluted runoff before it exits the property line.

SRI transforms complex stormwater mandates into highly functional compliance programs. We author regulator-ready SWPPPs that clearly map potential pollutant sources, establish exact sampling points, and outline effective Best Management Practices (BMPs). Our environmental engineering team directly supports your California SMARTS database registry, prepares accurate annual compliance reports, and conducts thorough facility housekeeping assessments. If your facility encounters a Numeric Action Level (NAL) exceedance for copper, zinc, lead, or TSS, SRI provides comprehensive Exceedance Response Action (Level 1 and Level 2) technical tracking.

Air Permitting

Industrial manufacturing processes, chemical blending, wastewater treatment systems, and stationary emergency generators frequently release emissions that fall under the close scrutiny of regional air quality management districts. Navigating stationary source air permitting demands exact engineering calculations, precise emission inventory tracking, and deep knowledge of shifting regional rules. Operating equipment without valid air authority approvals or miscalculating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can lead to immediate operational halts and substantial environmental fines.

SRI provides clear, data-driven air permitting services designed to keep your production equipment fully compliant. We conduct thorough process facility evaluations, perform detailed emissions calculations, and prepare technically sound permit-to-construct and permit-to-operate application packages. Our environmental engineers assist your staff with ongoing record-keeping strategies, source test coordination, and compliance tracking. SRI coordinates directly with regional air districts to secure your permits seamlessly, allowing you to focus on production.

Tank Certification

Solutions Recovery International (SRI) delivers professional, independent engineering evaluations to validate the structural integrity, safety, and legal compliance of your industrial storage infrastructure. Operating uncertified chemical or hazardous waste tanks exposes your facility to severe regulatory penalties, costly operational shutdowns, and catastrophic environmental liabilities. Our certified team thoroughly examines your storage assets, providing the rigorous testing, secondary containment calculations, and official engineering sign-offs required by state and federal oversight agencies. We streamline the entire validation process, protecting your operational permits and ensuring your containment systems remain safe, secure, and fully compliant under all modern regulatory frameworks.
