Commercial & Development Wastewater Engineering
WillCo Engineering provides professional engineering services for decentralized wastewater systems serving commercial properties and small developments throughout Texas. Engagements are structured based on project scope, regulatory requirements, and complexity.
Commercial OSSF Design
Full engineering design packages including:
-
Wastewater loading analysis (BOD/TSS evaluation)
-
Treatment system selection
-
Disposal field design (spray, drip, conventional, etc.)
-
Construction-ready plan sets
-
Permit documentation support
-
Regulatory coordination
Typical engagements begin at commercial scale and vary depending on project complexity.
RV Parks & High-Strength Systems
Engineering services for:
-
RV parks and resort properties
-
High occupancy facilities
-

Integrated into decentralized or development-scale systems.
TPDES & TLAP Permitting (TCEQ Chapter 217)
Professional engineering services for state-regulated wastewater facilities requiring Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) authorization. This is typically for flows over 5,000 GPD not covered by TCEQ 285 (OSSFs).
Services include:
-
TPDES discharge permit applications
-
TLAP (Texas Land Application Permit) preparation
-
Chapter 217 wastewater facility design coordination
-
Effluent limitations and loading analysis
-
Hydraulic and treatment process evaluation
-
Engineering reports and supporting documentation
-
Coordination with TCEQ review staff
Applicable to:
-
Small municipal systems
-
Private utility districts
-
RV parks requiring permitted discharge
-
Industrial wastewater facilities
-
Developments exceeding OSSF thresholds
This service extends beyond decentralized septic systems and supports projects requiring full regulatory permitting under Texas wastewater rules.
