Abstract |
The Enforcement Program Review Framework is a collaborative effort by States and EPA to achieve greater consistency and results from environmental compliance. Under the Framework, the same 13 review elements apply across the Clean Air Act stationary source (CAA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste and the Clean Water Act NPDES enforcement programs. In May 2005, Region 6 hosted a policy level meeting with NMED and other State enforcement managers to introduce and discuss the Review Framework. NMED also participated in the June 2005 Framework training co-hosted by the Environmental Council of States and EPA. In August 2005, the NMED and Region 6 Framework Review teams met (some participated telephonically) to review the Framework process and relevant data. On-site file reviews at NMEDs offices were completed in October 2005. |
