EPA’s Compliance Monitoring Strategy (CMS) sets national inspection goals for treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDF) and large quantity generator (LQG) universes. It also discusses alternatives to those goals: EPA can approve flexibilities for RCRA-authorized partner agencies to redirect some compliance monitoring resources from traditional CMS activities at routinely inspected facilities to inspections that may address more pressing needs or areas of interest. The CMS lays out processes for approval and end-of-year reporting for alternative CMS approaches. This webinar will present background on the CMS, common alternatives used by States, and how the approval and reporting processes work.

UST Common Compliance Violation (CCV) Report Story Map
The ASTSWMO Release Prevention Task Force continues to conduct information requests for data collection on compliance violations found during UST inspections conducted by State UST programs. Previous data collection results from 2010, 2012, and 2014 are available on the ASTSWMO website here.
The Release Prevention Task Force summarizes the information they receive into another report with recommendations on actions they can take to improve compliance rates in the future.

UST Common Compliance Violations Reports
The UST Task Force solicited information from all States in an effort to determine which violations are most often encountered during UST compliance inspections and other verification activities. The intent of this report is to provide a national perspective with regard to which UST violations are discovered in greatest frequency and may require additional attention. The data could impact where States allocate resources and how they perform onsite UST inspections, where the regulated community can best allocate their resources to improve compliance, and future decisions regarding the long-term direction of State and federal programs.
The UST Task Force plans to update these reports on a biennial basis to identify any trends across the UST programs.
