The report contains statistical indicators and a comparative analysis for the following enforcement related activities:

  • number of investigations and complaints, by program and region
  • number of notices of violation issued, by program and region
  • number and type of enforcement actions issued , including the regulated entity name and its location, by county and region
  • amountof penalties assessed, deferred, and required to be paid to General Revenue
  • costs, , offsets, and descriptions of supplemental environmental projects
  • number and percentage of enforcement orders issued to persons who previously have committed the same or similar violations

  • classification of violations as major, moderate, or minor
  • most frequently cited rules and statutes in enforcement actions
  • emissions events
