Water Quality Monitoring

Water quality monitoring, discharge testing, and emergency response for seafood processors and industrial clients. From regular EPA compliance sampling to post-spill environmental response.

What We Offer

Waste Discharge Monitoring & Compliance Testing

Industrial and seafood processing facilities often rely on outfall pipelines to discharge treated water. Monitoring these discharges is critical to remain in compliance with environmental regulations enforced by agencies like the EPA, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and state-level water boards.
We provide:

Wastewater sampling at outfall locations
Chemical and biological analysis through certified labs
GPS-tagged collection data for accurate mapping
Video documentation of discharge conditions using ROVs or divers
Full reporting with timestamped logs, test results, and regulatory recommendations

These services are essential for permit compliance, environmental impact assessments, and long-term discharge planning.

Emergency Environmental Response

In the event of a marine spill, vessel casualty, or pipeline breach, fast and effective response is vital. Enviro-Tech Diving offers 24/7 emergency response for water quality threats in remote and urban locations throughout Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California.

Our rapid-response teams can:

Assess contamination zones via surface drones and underwater ROVs
Collect water samples immediately post-incident
Monitor turbidity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and hydrocarbon presence
Assist containment teams by identifying flow direction and spread

This allows us to quickly inform containment strategy, evaluate ecological risk, and provide documentation for regulatory review and remediation planning.

Integrated Approach with Environmental Surveys

Water quality monitoring is often paired with our Environmental Seafloor Surveys, providing clients with a complete understanding of both surface and subsea conditions. By using aerial drones, divers, and ROVs together, we capture a holistic view of:

Outfall and intake zones
Benthic sediment conditions
Water chemistry changes over time
Marine life impact from industrial activity

Our comprehensive reports help clients anticipate risk, plan improvements, and stay ahead of regulatory scrutiny.

Industries & Regions We Serve

We support a wide range of operations that rely on dependable water quality data:

Seafood processing plants monitoring discharge and intake
Mining and energy operations in sensitive coastal areas
Port authorities and municipalities managing stormwater and runoff
Environmental consultants conducting baseline studies

Our work spans major waterways from the Bering Sea to Puget Sound, with specialized experience working in remote Alaskan regions
