Region 5 Audit Policy Cases
Below you will find a list of Region 5 cases which were negotiated successfully under U.S. EPA's Audit Policy (Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction and Prevention of Violations).
Please note that there may be a delay between the date when a new case settles and the date it is posted here.
To be included in this list, a case must satisfy two criteria: (1) the case involved violations to which EPA's Audit Policy was applicable, and (2) the regulated entity involved in the case was granted some level of relief from gravity-based penalties under the Policy. Accordingly, cases to which the Audit Policy did not apply and/or in which no relief was granted are not included here. Cases are organized by date of resolution, with the most recent resolutions being at the top.
For more Information about these cases, contact the case attorney (refer to ORC's Directory for phone numbers and email addresses), or submit a request under the Freedom of Information Act (see the Region 5 FOIA page). A list of Region 5's self-disclosure cases resolved prior to October 13, 2000, is available in our Region 5 Audit Policy Case archive.
For information regarding self-disclosure case from other regions, including graphical representations of FY 2004 national results, please consult EPA FY 2004 End of Year Enforcement & Compliance Assurance Results, available on line in PDF format.
