Abstract Long Description

This report is prepared by the Subcommittee on Enforcement of the Water Quality Partnership. The partnership is a standing policy advisory committee on the state′s water quality management functions. This report is a review of the Department of Ecology′s (Ecology) water quality enforcement program, principally focusing on point source discharge enforcement.

This review concerns itself with formal enforcement actions. There are many informal actions (such as notice of correction, technical assistance, warning letters, and phone calls) which Ecology uses in its broader compliance functions. This report focuses on penalties, administrative orders, and notices of violations.

This report contains recommendations of the subcommittee to the whole partnership. These recommendations as well as partnership input are presented to Ecology′s management team for consideration and implementation.
