Advize Helps Organizations See How Their Stormwater Records Appear Externally Before Issues Escalate

Advize centralizes public regulatory records, stormwater permit documents, and environmental data to highlight documentation gaps, record inconsistencies, and reporting visibility issues across industrial stormwater programs.

A proprietary data intelligence platform for industrial stormwater permit holders, environmental consultants managing multiple facilities, corporate EHS teams overseeing multi-site programs, and public agencies seeking improved data visibility.

Why Data Visibility Matters

  • Public records are first reviewed by agencies and third parties
  • Documentation gaps draw scrutiny even when practices are sound
  • Historical records remain visible long after conditions improve

Everything You Need to Understand Your Public Stormwater Record

Advize.ai provides a structured view of stormwater-related public records and uploaded documents, helping teams identify where records may be incomplete, inconsistent, outdated, or missing.

This platform is designed for:

Internal reviewDocumentation managementPre-audit preparationConsultant collaboration

What Advize Does

  • Aggregates public stormwater regulatory records and facility documentation
  • Highlights documentation gaps, inconsistencies, and visibility issues
  • Helps organizations understand how their records appear across public systems
  • Supports internal review and collaboration with consultants or advisors

What Advize Does Not Do

  • Determine legal compliance
  • Replace environmental consultants or legal counsel
  • Issue violations, enforcement actions, or guarantees

Advize Score

A data quality index showing how complete and consistent your public stormwater record is.

  • Compares public regulatory records against your uploaded documents
  • Highlights missing records, inconsistencies, and document currency issues
  • Identifies gaps that could draw scrutiny from reviewers
  • Updated automatically as new public records become available

Data Flags & Findings

Identifies data gaps and discrepancies across permits, reports, and monitoring records.

  • Aggregates public records from SMARTS and EPA ECHO
  • Compares against your uploaded internal documents
  • Flags missing records, inconsistent data, and document currency issues
  • Highlights visibility issues before they become problems

Sampling Records

Tracks sampling data and identifies gaps in your monitoring record.

  • Shows which parameters are being sampled and at what frequency
  • Tracks sampling schedules against IGP permit requirements
  • Identifies 303(d) impaired water sampling requirements
  • Compares expected vs. actual sampling records

QSE Tracking

Analyzes whether your facility is properly sampling during qualifying storm events.

  • QSE = precipitation event with ≥48-hour dry period before
  • Cross-references precipitation data with your SMARTS submissions
  • Tracks sampling events against storm event records
  • Identifies gaps between reported conditions and weather data

Rain Forecast

Shows precipitation forecasts and historical weather data for your facility.

  • Integrated with NOAA precipitation station data
  • Helps teams prepare for qualifying storm events
  • Shows historical precipitation patterns by reporting year
  • Enables proactive sampling preparation before storms hit

Calendar

Tracks regulatory deadlines and sampling schedules.

  • Annual Report deadline: July 15 (for July 1 – June 30 reporting year)
  • Sampling schedule tracking tied to IGP permit requirements
  • Important regulatory dates and filing deadlines
  • Visual timeline of upcoming and past events

Document Management

Securely upload and organize your stormwater documentation with cloud-based storage.

  • Upload SWPPPs, monitoring reports, and compliance documents to secure S3 storage
  • Organize documents by facility and document type
  • Compare internal records against publicly available SMARTS data
  • Maintain a centralized repository for audit preparation and team collaboration

AI Reference Assistant

Explains permit structure, regulatory sections, and reporting frameworks.

  • Answers questions about permit requirements and structure
  • Explains regulatory sections in plain language
  • Does NOT provide compliance determinations or legal advice

Stormwater Management Includes Documentation and Reporting

Stormwater management is often associated with physical controls, BMPs, and site practices. It also includes the documentation and reporting required under industrial stormwater permits.

Public stormwater records are used by agencies and third parties to evaluate programs. Advize supports stormwater management by improving the visibility of documentation and the clarity of reporting across public regulatory systems.

How It Works

Get visibility into your stormwater documentation in three steps.

Step 2

Review Your Data

See your Advize Score, ERA status, sampling history, and document inventory. The platform highlights gaps, inconsistencies, and upcoming deadlines.

Step 3

Take Action

Use findings to address documentation issues, prepare for audits, or collaborate with consultants. Ask the AI assistant questions about your permit requirements.
