National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. With the ever increasing water shortages and regulator restrictions, Chen and Associates is leading the way in training and implementation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Chen and Associates has a staff geared to engineering the best possible solution for tomorrow’s ecosystem and today’s development.
