GENERAL
O THE OFFICE OF WATER HAS RECENTLY MADE MAJOR MODIFICATIONS IN THE
REPORTING OF WATER COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION IN PREPARATION
FOR TRACKING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL MUNICIPAL POLICY.
O THE REVISED REPORTING WAS DESIGNED TO COVER THE COMPLIANCE STATUS
OF ALL MAJOR MUNICIPAL AND NON-MUNICIPAL PERMITTEES IN FY 1984.
THE OFFICE OF WATER INTENDS TO VERIFY THE QUALITY OF THE REPORTING
OVER THE NEXT QUARTER TO MAKE SURE ALL MAJOR PERMITTEES ARE
APPROPRIATELY INCLUDED.
o THE KEY FOCUS OF THE PROGRAM IS ON SIGNIFICANT NONCOMPLIERS. A
FACILITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN SIGNIFICANT NONCOMPLIANCE FOR ANY
OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF VIOLATIONS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN CORRECTED
BY THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD:
- FACILITIES VIOLATING REQUIREMENTS OF PREVIOUS ENFORCEMENT
ACTIONS OR COMPLIANCE SCHEDULES.
- FACILITIES IN VIOLATION OF PERMIT EFFLUENT LIMITS FOR:
— SINGLE EVENTS AND SHORT-TERM LIMITS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO CAUSE ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL OR HEALTH IMPACTS.
— VIOLATIONS OF MONTHLY AVERAGE PERMIT LIMITS, FOR ANY TWO
MONTHS IN A SIX-MONTH PERIOD, THAT EXCEED THE LIMIT FOR
NONTOXIC POLLUTANTS BY 40% OR THE LIMIT FOR TOXIC POLLUTANTS
BY 20%.
— VIOLATIONS OF MONTHLY AVERAGE LIMITS FOR ANY FOUR MONTHS IN
A SIX-MONTH PERIOD.
o COMPLIANCE AND INSPECTION COMMITMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN FINALIZED FOR
ALL REGIONS.
o REGION VI'S FIRST QUARTER COMPLIANCE REPORT WAS NOT RECEIVED IN
TIME TO INCLUDE IT IN THIS REPORT.
