Key Takeaways:
- Inventory and Characterization: These foundational steps involve identifying system users (industrial or non-residential users) and analyzing the system’s current status. This is an ongoing process, often tied to permit renewals, to ensure accurate oversight of system use and pollutant loads.
- Control: The control phase defines how industrial users should be regulated based on federal and local limits. Most programs follow a disjointed process involving separate systems for plant performance data and permit generation, which often leads to errors. SwiftComply aims to integrate and simplify this process.
- Oversight: Programs often struggle with data tracking and reporting, particularly when relying on manual processes like spreadsheets and physical documents. SwiftComply’s platform automates data collection and tracking, minimizing the chance for errors and ensuring better consistency in compliance.
- Response: Timely responses to violations are crucial for maintaining compliance. SwiftComply’s system helps reduce delays by automating violation notifications and follow-ups, allowing quicker enforcement actions.
- Reporting: Reporting for audits can be cumbersome, with data scattered across various sources. SwiftComply centralizes data, making it easier to gather and present compliance records during audits, ensuring that nothing is missed.
