Data review and error correction could be a long, ongoing process. DNR s goal at this time is to have a complete or nearly complete data set available by May 1, 2000. If a timely review is sought, the Department will post information for that facility to the extent such posting is supported by the decision made through the review process. There may be unusual cases where an error in DNR s databases is caused by a reporting error by the facility. In these special cases, DNR regulatory program staff will discuss any potential compliance ramifications with the facility as appropriate.
Many details are still to be determined.
It is not practical or necessary to have facilities review each change. DNR can reasonably certify the accuracy of this information without facility review until the next year of environmental data are added, at which time any necessary corrections can be made. Finally, our plan for the future is to minimize the chance of data errors through increased use of electronic reporting. Obviously, the above process is not foolproof. If errors are ever brought to the attention of DNR subsequent to an initial posting on the Internet, the data will be removed, corrected, and re-posted as expeditiously as possible.
