Our Environmental Permitting Design Services

Syman offers several types of permit design services that you can explore below, giving you the flexibility to find exactly what your project needs. Our team can support just about any project scope with reliable, end-to-end permit solutions.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP)

We develop construction and industrial SWPPPs that define pollutant sources, drainage patterns, TMDLs, and phased BMP implementation. Plans include site-specific inspection and maintenance requirements, corrective action procedures, training logs, and up-to-date mapping.

ESCP (Erosion & Sediment Control Plan)

These plans identify the location, design assumptions, and installation criteria for temporary and permanent BMPs such as slope protection, sediment basins, inlet protection, and perimeter controls. We include staging guidance, sequencing, and maintenance thresholds.

Construction Site Dewatering Plans

We prepare dewatering plans that ensure compliance with turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) limits for discharge or infiltration. Plans include treatment methods (bags, clarifiers, polymers), flow monitoring, pH testing (if needed), and corrective actions for exceedances.

MSGP (Industrial Stormwater Plans)

Syman designs industrial SWPPP plans for facilities under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP). These include benchmark monitoring schedules, exposure minimization strategies, visual inspections, drainage control measures, and corrective action documentation for exceedances.

Reclamation (Final Stabilization)

We support project closeout with final stabilization plans that restore disturbed areas using appropriate grading, seed mixes, soil amendments, and mulching. Plans meet vegetative cover or surface stabilization thresholds and include documentation for agency approval.

Section 404 Permit Support

Syman assists with USACE permit compliance for work involving fill or dredge in regulated waters (WOTUS). We prepare delineations, impact reports, mitigation strategies, and construction-phase BMP guidance for compliance with 404/401 conditions.

Revegetation & Site Stabilization

We specify interim and final stabilization methods such as seeding, mulch, bonded fiber matrix (BFM), or erosion control blankets. Plans define application methods, timelines, and maintenance benchmarks tied to permit deadlines.

Groundwater Monitoring Plans

Our team designs groundwater monitoring programs with well layout, sampling frequency, and lab analysis protocols. Plans include QA/QC procedures and trending metrics to flag contaminant migration and inform source control strategies.

TESC Plans

TESC plans coordinate construction-phase erosion control using BMP sizing, placement, inspection schedules, and cleanout criteria.

SPCC Plans

SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) plans outline oil storage containment strategies per 40 CFR 112, including integrity testing and PE certification when required.

Oregon DEQ 1200-C Plans

For Oregon projects, we design SWPCP/SWPPP documentation to meet 1200-C permit requirements. Plans cover erosion control BMPs, turbidity/pH monitoring, phased stabilization, and electronic reporting, tailored to high-risk soils, slopes, or sensitive waters.

EPA-Administered Stormwater Permits

We support sites in non-delegated states under EPA-issued CGP or MSGP permits. Services include SWPPP preparation, eNOI/eNOT filing, endangered species/historic screenings, and monitoring/reporting compliance.
