Introduction 

The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) has developed this Compliance 

Assurance Resources Compendium which contains over 400 web links to various types of 

resources - policies, guidance training, guidebooks, Web sites, fact sheets, etc.- to help Regions, 

states and tribes in implementing the performance-based strategies for each of the national 

enforcement and compliance priorities for FY2008-2010. This information should also be useful 

for members of the regulated community as well. The Compendium is located on the OECA 

web site at http://www.epa.gov/compliance/resources/publications/data/planning/priorities/priorities.pdf. 

This Compendium provides Compliance Assistance, Compliance Monitoring, and Enforcement 

resources for the following priorities in separate chapters. 

FY2008- 2010 National Compliance and Enforcement Priorities are: 

• Clean Water Act - Wet Weather 

1. Combined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) 

2. Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs)/Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) 

3. Storm Water 

• Clean Air Act - New Source Review/Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

• Clean Air Act - Air Toxics 

• Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) - Mineral Processing 

• Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Comprehensive Environmental 

• Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) - Financial Responsibility 

• Indian Country 

In 2007, OECA issued the “Guide for Addressing Environmental Problems: Using an Integrated 

Strategic Approach” located at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/pdf.html, which contains a detailed 

reference to help staff and managers plan, develop, implement and measure OECA’s national 

priorities. This guide will help determine which mix of tools: enforcement, inspections, 

incentives or assistance will best address national and regional compliance and enforcement 

problems. It includes chapters on: goals and measures, selecting and sequencing tools, assigning 

roles and responsibilities, communicating and exiting the strategy. Some examples of how the 

guide could be used to help implement the priorities is provided in the “CA Compass” at 

http://www.epa.gov/compliance/resources/newsletters/assistance/cacompassvol3no1.pdf. The 

“CA Compass” is a compliance assistance newsletter published by the Office of Compliance.

In addition to the resources provided in this compendium, The National Enforcement Training 

Institute (NETI), can enhance and support the activities of the OECA National Priorities. In 

particular, NETI can help develop and deliver quality training products whether it is an 

instructor-led course, a web-based tutorial, or a combination of products. NETI can also help 

advertise and evaluate results of these products, in addition to providing well equipped training 

facilities in Washington, DC and Denver, CO. Interested parties should contact NETI at (202­

564-2430) or neti.online@epa.gov.

29. Waste Water Programs for Small Communities

 Protecting public health and improving water quality are the major goals of the 

 Clean Water Act. Small Communities, Indian Tribes and Colonias often experience

 difficulty in achieving these goals. Many communities and tribes could avoid costly 

 construction projects through improved management skills, adequate financing,

 appropriate technology, and better wastewater treatment system operation and 

 maintenance. The Office of Wastewater Management provides water and wastewater 

 services to tribal and community leaders through its "Small Communities Team." 

 The team partners with organizations to manage programs of technical assistance, 

 financial assistance, and education & training to small communities and Indian

 tribes. EPA has created a site for onsite/decentralized wastewater systems that 

 provides information on management, funding, technology, and public outreach to 

 assist small communities when using or considering decentralized systems to 

 manage their wastewater needs. These programs are summarized below.

1. Mineral Processing Wastes 

This Web page is intended to provide compliance assistance to the mineral processing 

sector, and to assist state regulators and the public in understanding the federal 

requirements on the disposal of mineral processing wastes. Regulation affecting mineral 

processing wastes was developed through a long process covering the period 1980 to 991. 

It involved numerous proposed and final rule makings and federal litigation. If a 

company is generating non-exempt hazardous wastes, it may need to obtain a permit from 

an authorized state or EPA Region.

13. 	 Protocol for Conducting Environmental Compliance, Audits of Storage Tanks 

under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 

U.S. EPA has developed audit protocols to provide regulated entities with specific 

guidance in periodically evaluating their compliance with federal environmental 

requirements. 

The Audit Protocols are designed for use by individuals who are already familiar with the 

federal regulations hut require an updated comprehensive regulatory checklist to conduct 

environmental compliance audits at regulated facilities. Typically, compliance audits are 

performed by persons who are not necessarily media or legal experts hut instead possess 

a working knowledge of the regulations and a familiarity with the operations and 

practices of the-facility to he audited. These two basic skills are a prerequisite for 

adequately identifying areas at the facility subject to environmental regulations and 

26 
potential regulatory violations that subtract from the organizations environmental 

performance. With these basic skills, audits can be successfully conducted by persons 

with various educational hackgrounds’ (e.g., engineers, scientists, lawyers, business 

owners or operators). These protocols are not intended to be a substitute for the 

regulations nor are they intended to he instructional to an audience seeking a primer on 

the requirements under Title 40, however, they are designed to he sufficiently detailed to 

support the auditor’s efforts.

This 1994 bulletin is intended to explain methods that many states have found effective in 

increasing compliance and controlling cleanup costs. Funds have found that early 

detection of leaks potentially results in fewer or less costly leaking UST (LUST) sites. By 

"leveraging" fund eligibility for increased compliance with the UST technical regulations, 

several states have successfully used their funds to promote technical compliance, still 

get sites cleaned up, and control costs at the same time. This bulletin describes the basics 

of the leveraging approach that can achieve this level of success.
