WHB Engineers provides as-needed professional services as Qualified SWPPP Practitioner/Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSP/QSD) to support the existing, ongoing Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) requirements for inspection and maintenance as approved by the County of Orange.

WHB has additionally reviewed the existing WQMP dated July 24, 2002 prepared by Fuscoe Engineering to help develop maintenance recommendations and processes such that LBUSD is in compliance with the approved WQMP. WHB has trained appropriate LBUSD team members on the implementation of the current WQMP.

WHB Engineers was hired to author permit required documents (PRDs) for permit activation including a notice of intent (NOI) and Technical Report detailing site conditions. 

WHB was selected by a commercial compost facility to assist in compliance with the State of California Compost General Order (CGO).

The scope of work included initial site testing of the surface soils and their hydraulic infiltration rates, ongoing groundwater monitoring, and permit preparation and submittal as required by the State Water Resources Control Board.

To comply with the California General Permit (CGP) requirements for a Tier II Facility, WHB prepared and implemented a Groundwater Protection Monitoring Plan (GPMP).

This included a review of the regulatory requirements for this type of facility and an examination of the geology and hydrogeology of the site.

Based on our findings, WHB implemented the design, installation, and development of two groundwater wells, and performed an elevation survey.

WHB’s Environmental Services Team then collected groundwater samples for laboratory analysis and calculation of hydrogeologic parameters. A Well Installation and Monitoring Report was delivered to the client and ultimately submitted to the regional water quality control board.

The outcome of this assessment will aid the facility in future management decisions and contribute to the long-term preservation of water quality in the San Pasqual Valley.

Services: Environmental & Permitting

WHB’s operating company to support Verizon’s general permit compliance. 

WHB supported Verizon in getting City of San Diego and State of California environmental permitting for 14 miles of customer-owned fiber conduit undergrounding in San Diego.

Permit Required Documents (PRDs) were prepared by a WHB Qualified SWPPP Developer and uploaded to the SMARTS database in collaboration with site owners.

The project has since obtained a State of California CGP for the LUP Type-1 project.

Each construction crew was trained by a WHB QSP to implement stormwater BMPs on their sites.

To date, WHB personnel have performed over 40 inspections and prepared and submitted two permit amendments. 

All PRDs are reviewed by the local municipality and the regional water quality control board for approval and permitting. 

WHB also provides ongoing SMARTS database management and quality control to support to Verizon Communication Inc. for this program.
