Autumn 2024 - Permitting College Intern (20047918)

What We Need:

Ohio EPA Fall College Intern

What We Do:

At the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, our primary goal is to protect the environment and public health. We do this by ensuring compliance with federal and state environmental laws.

What We Need YOU To Do:

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency wants you to be our newest intern in the Division of Surface Water (DSW) at our Southwest District Office in Dayton.   

Your future career starts with us.

As a college intern, you’ll receive training and orientation on all aspects of our surface water program and assist technical staff with a variety of program duties. You’ll work with an environmental engineer to collect and summarize data needed to review permit to install (PTI) applications, general plans, and engineering plans for industrial and semi-public wastewater treatment facilities.

You’ll get to peek under the hood, assisting with collecting and tabulating data required for important agency actions such as National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, findings and orders, enforcement referrals, and complaints for various wastewater sources. You’ll review storm water pollution prevention plans and get field time visiting sites to determine compliance with storm water pollution prevention plans and permits.

We’ll have you prepare reports and review plans for conformance with agency guidelines and policies and do routine things like updating files and organizing information requested by internal and external clients. But we promise – you won’t be bored!

Here are the takeaways:

• Participate in the summer intern program for the surface water program.
• Collect, tabulate, and summarize data for wastewater treatment PTI applications and NPDES permits.
• Conduct and assist with stormwater inspections at construction and industrial sites.
• Prepare reports, review plans, and tabulate and file information as requested.
• Learn cool stuff, make connections, and have fun!
