Recent Projects

  • SWP3/SWPPP – Specialty Concrete Batch Plant

    Latitudes Environmental filed a Notice of Intent, and prepared a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWP3/SPPP) for a specialty concrete batch plant in West Texas. Permit coverage was required under TXG110000- General Permit to Discharge Water from a Concrete Production Facility. Plan elements included an inventory of exposed materials, pollution prevention measures, sampling protocols, periodic inspections, employee training, and a drainage map. The General Permit was reissued by the TCEQ November 7, 2021, which prompted us a new NOI and SWP3 revision.

  • HSE Manual – Onshore Oil and Gas Operator

    Latitudes prepared an HSE Manual for an exploration and production company that operates approximately 1,250 oil and gas wells in Texas and New Mexico. The Manual addresses all operational risks, and is comprised of policies and procedures for safe practices. Specific content for the Manual was developed based on our comprehensive experience working in the E&P industry. Additional content and best practices were adopted from state agency publications, trade organizations, and other E&P Operators. OSHA General Industry Standards (29 CFR Part 1910) were also reviewed for applicability and inclusion. Forms and Checklists were developed to supplement the various management system commitments. For example, certain scheduled tests and inspections of wellsites have standard checklists; oil spill reporting employs a standard form.
