Abstract
RIDEM does a good job implementing its federally delegated NPDES, CAA and RCRA Enforcement Programs. The review indicated a thorough understanding of these programs. Since EPA New Englands last multi-media review in 1996, RIDEM has made substantial improvements in identifying and documenting violations and calculating and documenting penalties. RIDEMs performance in these areas is now mostly outstanding. Two general areas are in need of improvement in each program - enforcement action timeliness and data system management. EPA New England recognizes that these issues are continuing challenges for all government programs and they do not reflect any underlying weakness in RIDEMs understanding or commitment to federal environmental enforcement.
