MEMORANDUM V
SUBJECT: FY 1987 SPMS Targets for RCRA Enforc
PROM: Lloyd S. Guerci, Director
RCRA Enforcement Division
TO: Waste, vManagement Division Directors/ Regions I - X
RCRA-Enforcement Branch Chiefs, Regions I - X .
As you know, in early July the FY 1987 SPMS measures, copy
attached, were transmitted to the Regions. These regtiire
guarterly targets for inspections (R/E-2). The Assistant
Administrator fo^Solid Waste and Emergency Response (AA-OSWER)
must present negotiated targets to the Administrator by .
September 1. To assure that this is met, we need negotiated
FY 1987 inspection (R/E-2) targets, by gya.;rte^ (^tandard-
tjire^month^guajrjtej^sj , by August 12»^^1«?e-?eque^artr--that~you pro-
vTxJe~Tfa~r7je*ts~~by August 8, which may be negotiated as necessary by
August 12. Further negotiations between Regions and Headquarters
on these targets may occur in the latter part of August. We
request your targets even though OMSE will not provide forms until
August 8.
Please note that the number of facilities inspected,' :
rather than the number of inspections, are targetted. For
land disposal facilities subject to.ground-water monitoring,
the FY 1987 RCRA Implementation Plan (RIP) (pertinent pages
attached) requires annual inspections (RIP pp. 12 - 13).
This requirement applies to operating, closed and closing
facilities (i.e., facilities that retained and lost interim
status. For treatment, storage and disposal facilities
that are not such land disposal facilities, RCRA section 3007(e)
and the FY 1987 RIP (pp. 13 - 14) require that all such
facilities not inspected in FY 1986 be inspected in FY 1987.
In addition, the FY 1987 RIP (p. 13) requires that non-land
disposal, facilities receive an inspection within 12 months of
receiving a permit and that closing facilities be inspected,
regardless of whether inspected in FY 1986. Finally, EPA'
must annually inspect all Federal, State and local facilities
for the treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste*
(RCRA section 3007(c),(d);.FY 1987 RIP p. 12); this requirement
is not satisfied by a State inspection. We expect to compare
your targets to information contained in HWDMS and the FY 1987
budget.
-------
Directive Number 9971

Thank you for your cooperation.
