Abstract |
In early 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiated the second State Review Framework (SRF) evaluation of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). The SRF is a program designed to ensure EPA conducts oversight of state compliance and enforcement programs for the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C program, the Clean Water Act (CWA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program and the Clean Air Act (CAA) Stationary Source program in a nationally consistent and efficient manner. The first SRF evaluation at ADEM took place in 2006, and was based on enforcement and compliance activities that occurred in FY2005. The second SRF evaluation is based on FY2008 compliance and enforcement activities. |
