Introduction
The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) has developed this
Compliance Assurance Resources Compendium which contains over 400 web links to
various types of resources - policies, guidance training, guidebooks, Web sites, fact
sheets, etc.- to help Regions, states and tribes in implementing the performance-based
strategies for each of the national enforcement and compliance priorities for FY2005-
2007. This information should also be useful for members of the regulated community as
well. The Compendium is located on the National Environmental Compliance Assistance
Clearinghouse and on OECA's Home Page as a pdf file at
http://epa.gov/compliance/resources/publication/planning/priorities.pdf
This Compendium provides Compliance Assistance, Compliance Monitoring, and
Enforcement resources for the following priorities in separate chapters.
FY2005- 2007 National Compliance and Enforcement Priorities are:
Clean Water Act - Wet Weather
+ Combined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)
*• Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) /Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs)
> Storm Water
Clean Air Act - New Source Review/Prevention of Significant Deterioration
Clean Air Act - Air Toxics
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act - Mineral Processing & Financial
Responsibility

Animal feeding operations (AFOs) are livestock operations, such as dairies, hog, and
chicken farms, that confine and concentrate animals and their waste. AFOs remain a
source of water and air pollution in EPA Region 9 and around the nation. This Web
site describes the problems associated with AFOs and improper animal waste
management, and the efforts of EPA and its state partners to prevent AFO pollution
in Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada.

34. Waste Water Programs for Small Communities
Protecting public health and improving water quality are the major goals of the
Clean Water Act. Small Communities, Indian Tribes and Colonias often experience
difficulty in achieving these goals. Many communities and tribes could avoid costly
construction projects through improved management skills., adequate financing,
appropriate technology, and better wastewater treatment system operation and
maintenance. The Office of Wastewater Management provides water and wastewater
services to tribal and community leaders through its "Small Communities Team."
The team partners with organizations to manage programs of technical assistance,
financial assistance, and education & training to small communities and Indian
tribes. EPA has created a site for onsite/decentralized wastewater systems that
provides information on management, funding, technology, and public outreach to
assist small communities when using or considering decentralized systems to
manage their wastewater needs. These programs are summarized below.

17. Guidance on Mitigation of Impact to Small Business while Implementing Air
Quality Standards and Regulations
On July 16, 1997, President Clinton directed the EPA to implement the newly
revised ozone and particulate matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) in a common-sense, cost-effective manner. An important element of the
President's message was the directive to "work with the States to include in their SIPs
flexible regulatory alternatives that minimize the economic impact and paperwork
16
-------
burden on small businesses to the greatest possible degree consistent with public
health protection." this guidance addresses this directive by outlining potential
implementation strategies that would mitigate adverse impacts on small sources, and
by encouraging States to make use of these strategies wherever possible and
appropriate.

18 Definition of "Regulated Air Pollutant"
This April 26, 1993 memo from Lydia Wegman of EPA's Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards (OAQPS) defines regulated air pollutants for purposes of
Title V. This guidance lists the following as regulated pollutants: NOx and VOC (as
ozone precursors); all pollutants for which a NAAQS has been promulgated (e.g.,
SO2, CO); any pollutant subject to a promulgated NSPS; any of the ozone-depleting
substances specified as Class I or n under Title VI; and any pollutant subject to a
standard promulgated under ?112 or other requirements established under 7112,
including ?112(g)(2), (j), and (r).

This memo explains EPA's criteria for granting interim Title V program approvals.
Interim approval is discretionary and will be granted only where such is found to be

The modeling is also used for new source reviews, and prevention of significant
deterioration review. EPA has developed a limited number of models suitable for
regulatory application. Other acceptable models have been developed by private
firms.

D. RCRA - Mineral Processing
1 Mineral Processing Wastes
This Web page is intended to provide compliance assistance to the mineral processing
sector, and to assist state regulators and the public in understanding the federal
requirements on the disposal of mineral processing wastes. Regulation affecting mineral
processing wastes was developed through a long process covering the period 1980 to
1991. It involved numerous proposed and final rule makings and federal litigation. If a
company is generating non-exempt hazardous wastes, it may need to obtain a permit
from an authorized state or EPA Region.

assembly, pulp manufacturing, petroleum refining, iron and steel production,
and the primary smelting and refining of aluminum, copper, lead, and zinc
(nonferrous metals). SFIP provides environmental data about each facility, such

discharges and air emissions. As a result, mining can affect surface and ground water
quality, drinking water supplies and air quality. Impacts from operating and abandoned
mines can also cause extensive losses of aquatic and terrestrial habitat.

3. Common Sense Initiative
The Common Sense Initiative was an innovative approach to environmental
protection and pollution prevention developed by the U.S. EPA. The Initiative
addresses environmental management by industrial sector rather than by
environmental medium (air, water, land). EPA selected six industries to serve as
CSI pilots: automobile manufacturing, computer and electronics, iron and steel,
23
-------
metal finishing, petroleum refining, and printing. Six sector subcommittees,
each consisting of representatives from industry, environmental justice organizations,
labor organizations, environmental organization, federal, state,
and local governments, address environmental issues facing these industries.
The CSI Initiative ended in 1998.

(API), and Texas Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association (TMOGA) formed a
Refinery Roundtable Workgroup. The Workgroup included a New Source
Performance Standard (NSPS) Subpart J Sub workgroup. This sub workgroup
concluded that an NSPS Subpart J document directed to refineries would assist
the refinery community. The NSPS Subpart J document includes the Subpart J
regulation with inserted boxes which summarize EPA determinations,
guidance, policy and suggested work practices to aid in compliance. The
documents summarized may be obtained from the TTNB. Documents posted
on the EPA TTNB as of May 31, 1997 are included in this document. Efforts
are underway to update this document to include future Subpart J EPA TTNB
documents. Updates will be noted on this page. EPA is providing this document
for compliance assistance to the petroleum industry on the WWW.

Other Waste Related Issues - Mining Waste in Indian Country
35. Many tribes have mineral resources on their lands and have either experienced mining
activities in the past or plan to engage in mining in the future. Mining activities generate
waste from the ore or mineral extraction process and from beneficiation (i.e., ore
separation from overburden and host rock as well as concentration activities to purify the
metals). Mining can create environmental problems such as acid mine drainage, erosion,
dust emission, and surface- and ground-water contamination. The page provides access to
