WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING
The data show a downward trend in the number of inspections conducted since Fiscal year 2000-2001. This downward trend is not equal in every region and regions such R2, R3, R5, R6 and R4 had been able to maintain the number of inspections conducted. For compliance purposes, some facilities are inspected more than once a year, which is why the total number of inspections is greater than the total number of facilities inspected.
WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT
Inspections are a primary tool used in the Land Disposal program to assess compliance with requirements. The Land Disposal program regulates discharges of waste to land that need containment in order to protect water quality, including landfills, waste ponds, waste piles, and land treatment units. Other compliance assurance activities include reviewing monitoring reports and responding to complaints.
