Stormwater & Wastewater Analysis (NPDES)

How Can Meridian Labs Assist Your City?

Stormwater and wastewater regulations impact operations of industry, construction projects, municipalities, developers, agriculture, and other businesses. We understand these complex requirements and have tailored our testing specifically to help you achieve compliance with your NPDES Permit.


Storm water is wastewater regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA). Storm water permits are issued to construction activities, industrial facilities, and municipal separate storm sewer systems. Meridian can provide automatic sampling and event sampling to support your permit compliance.


National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit-required testing for wastewater treatment plants and lagoons is a specialty at Meridian Analytical Labs, Inc. We cater to your needs with fast, convenient, and specialized testing. The determination of your facility’s wastewater quality is specified in environmental permits (either yours or your municipality’s wastewater treatment plant) and consists of series of laboratory tests focused on the six major categories shown.

If the Analysis is listed in RED, that indicates a SHORT hold time.  For a complete list of short hold times, view the Hold Times section below.
