Recommendation HW5: Increase the number of local and state compliance inspectors so staffing levels are sufficient to inspect Large and Medium Quantity Generators (LQGs and MQGs) every three years and to provide most counties with local source control inspectors.

Strive for a more efficient enforcement process to free up inspector's time for more fieldwork. Regulatory partnerships, especially around stormwater runoff, will be encouraged as a way to leverage compliance presence and better protect the environment.

Milestone HW E: The chance of finding a significant environmental threat during a compliance inspection will drop to 50 percent.
