Abstract |
State Review Framework (SRF) and Permit Quality Review (PQR) oversight reviews of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) were conducted during the week of June 25, 2012; July 9, 2012 and August 19, 2012 by EPA Region 4 permitting and enforcement staff. This review covered permit and compliance/enforcement activities in federal fiscal year (FY) 2011 (October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011) and as such it represents a snapshot in time and may not reflect DEPs current practices. The Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (CWA-NPDES) program was reviewed under both SRF and PQR. The Clean Air Act (CAA) Stationary Source and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C programs were reviewed only under SRF. SRF findings are based on file metrics derived from file reviews, data metrics, and conversations with program staff. PQR findings are based on reviews of permits, fact sheets, and interviews. |
