Abstract
This is OECAs report for the State Review Framework review of Region 9s direct implementation of environmental programs in the U.S. Pacific territories. The scope of the review is CAA Stationary Source, CWA NPDES, and RCRA Subtitle C enforcement and compliance programs in the Pacific Islands, which includes Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The review was conducted in collaboration with managers and staff of the Pacific Islands Office (PIO), the air, water, and RCRA compliance units, and the enforcement coordinator in Region 9. The review was conducted through conference calls, informal phone conversations, email, and an on-site visit to the Region 9 office in San Francisco, California. The review was based on FY 2006 data, which was the most complete data available at the time of the review. The purpose of an OECA led SRF review is to assess a regions implementation of air, water, and RCRA programs that are not authorized to states. None of the three territories (Guam, American Samoa, and CNMI) are authorized for the CWA NPDES program, but Guam was recently approved for the CAA Title V, and the RCRA Subtitle C programs was authorized several years ago. Because these programs have only recently been approved, and Region 9 inspectors continue to conduct the bulk of compliance inspections, it was decided that OECA would include all three programs for all three of the territories in this review. Due to the organization of the Pacific Islands program, one office overseeing the programs in three small territories with few major sources, it was also decided to prepare one consolidated report and not separate reports for each of the territories.
