Pacific Steel Group (PSG) Stormwater Compliance Management

Maintaining compliance with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Industrial General Permit is a critical operational objective for Pacific Steel Group (PSG), one of California’s leading independent reinforcing steel fabricators. To support ongoing regulatory compliance, PSG partners with Soar Environmental Consulting to implement and maintain comprehensive Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) programs across its facilities.

The SWPPP serves as the primary compliance document for industrial stormwater management and is designed to:

• Identify and evaluate potential pollutant sources that could impact the quality of industrial stormwater discharges.
• Document and assess the minimum Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented to reduce or eliminate pollutant exposure and discharge.
• Establish procedures for identifying site conditions, operational changes, or regulatory requirements that may necessitate future revisions to the SWPPP.

Soar Environmental provides comprehensive stormwater compliance services for PSG at five California facilities. Our team manages permit registration and reporting requirements through the State Water Resources Control Board’s Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS), ensuring all regulatory obligations are met accurately and on schedule.

During qualifying storm events, Soar Environmental mobilizes field personnel to conduct stormwater sampling activities in accordance with permit requirements. Collected samples are submitted for laboratory analysis, and resulting data are compiled, evaluated, and uploaded to the SMARTS database. Additional services include facility-specific stormwater runoff evaluations, site assessments, SWPPP amendments, BMP implementation reviews, employee training support, visual inspections, annual reporting, and other compliance-related documentation required under the Industrial General Permit.

Through a proactive approach and meticulous attention to regulatory detail, Soar Environmental has consistently helped PSG maintain compliance while minimizing environmental risk. The success of this partnership led PSG to expand Soar Environmental’s scope of services by adding three additional California facilities under contract.

This continued growth reflects the confidence PSG places in Soar Environmental’s technical expertise and commitment to environmental stewardship. As PSG noted, “We like what you are doing to help us stay compliant and protect the environment for generations to come.”
