Prepare written, oral, tabular, and graphic reports summarizing requirements and regulations, including enforcement and chain of custody documentation.
Inform health professionals, property owners, and the public about harmful properties and related problems of water pollution and contaminated wastewater.
Determine sampling locations and methods, and collect water or wastewater samples for analysis, preserving samples with appropriate containers and preservation methods.
Participate in the development of spill prevention programs and hazardous waste rules and regulations, and recommend corrective actions for hazardous waste problems.
Review and evaluate applications for registration of products containing dangerous materials, or for pollution control discharge permits.
Respond to questions and inquiries, such as those concerning service charges and capacity fees, or refer them to supervisors.
Inform individuals and groups of pollution control regulations and inspection findings, and explain how problems can be corrected.
Prepare data to calculate sewer service charges and capacity fees.
Investigate complaints and suspected violations regarding illegal dumping, pollution, pesticides, product quality, or labeling laws.
Verify that hazardous chemicals are handled, stored, and disposed of in accordance with regulations.
Examine permits, licenses, applications, and records to ensure compliance with licensing requirements.
Observe and record field conditions, gathering, interpreting, and reporting data such as flow meter readings and chemical levels.
Evaluate label information for accuracy and conformance to regulatory requirements.
Research and perform calculations related to landscape allowances, discharge volumes, production-based and alternative limits, and wastewater strength classifications, then make recommendations and complete documentation.
Interview individuals to determine the nature of suspected violations and to obtain evidence of violations.
Learn and observe proper safety precautions, rules, regulations, and practices so that unsafe conditions can be recognized and proper safety protocols implemented.
Determine which sites and violation reports to investigate, and coordinate compliance and enforcement activities with other government agencies.
Perform laboratory tests on samples collected, such as analyzing the content of contaminated wastewater.
