As a result, EPA and the State will work together to develop and implement a plan to coordinate compliance monitoring and enforcement activities. These activities may include but are not limited to identifying Federal and State priorities, developing and implementing inspection targeting methods, developing targeted inspection lists, exchanging information regarding ongoing Federal and State enforcement actions against significant noncompliers (SNCs) and Secondary Violators as defined in EPA's Hazardous Waste Civil Enforcement Response Policy dated December 2003, or any revisions thereto, and VADEQ's Enforcement Manual. Enforcement and compliance monitoring activities/priorities will be outlined in the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance's National Program Guidance. EPA and the State will negotiate enforcement and compliance monitoring activities/priorities and describe them in the State's Grant Work Plan.

Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement. In SFY96, the NJDEP continued to perform periodic compliance inspections and review self-reported compliance reports, such as Excess Emission Reports, CAA Title V Compliance Plans, and Discharge Monitoring Reports. The performance of compliance inspections and reviews establish an expectation among regulated entities that their performance will be evaluated periodically to verify compliance with their environmental obligations, thereby providing a necessary deterrence to noncompliance. The NJDEP will work with EPA in SFY97/98 to improve its ability to effectively target inspection and other compliance monitoring and assurance resources to obtain the greatest possible environmental benefits. The NJDEP will work to improve its ability to effectively target its resources by, among other things, tracking additional compliance information, focusing on geographic areas with high rate of releases based upon TRI reporting, facilities impacting the NY/NJ Harbor and Delaware Estuaries, facilities in industry sectors with low compliance rates, and facilities that are significant sources of substances of special concern. The NJDEP will continue to initiate civil and administrative enforcement actions for uncorrected and repeated minor violations and non-minor violations, seeking penalties, when necessary, that are commensurate with the violations and that prevent violators from benefitting economically from their noncompliance. Administrative and civil penalties function as an important deterrent against repeat, chronic and recalcitrant violators.
