Introduction to Compliance and Enforcement Activities, part 1
Course Description: This introductory course will be most helpful for new or inexperienced personnel. It should also be very useful for state agencies that are in the process of starting new safe drinking water programs (e.g., tribes or territories) or upgrading their existing compliance programs. The course introduces students to every aspect of a compliance program, from identifying the regulated community, to assessing compliance to initiating enforcement responses. The course provides a practical guide to the day-to-day operation of a typical safe drinking water compliance program that will answer the questions every new employee is bound to ask about how the program operates to safeguard the health of public water supply users. The course is a combination of lecture-style presentation slides to provide an overview of the topics and discussion scenarios that are presented to the participants. Handouts supplement the overview with considerable additional detail on communication issues. Part 1 focuses on compliance issues.
Sponsored by: EPA, OGWDW
Intended for: new or inexperienced drinking water compliance staff
Duration: 2 hours
