Enforcement
The primary goal of the Hazardous Waste enforcement program is to maintain a high rate of compliance within the requlate community thereby minimizing risks to human health and the environment. Supplemental goals include:
- to prevent and immediately abate imminent hazardous to the public health and environment
- to create an awareness of the requirements of the Act and Rules so that voluntary compliance is achieved
- to remove economic benefit incentivges for noncompliance
- to punish violators and deter noncompliance by the violator(s)
- to remove repeated, recalcitrant violators from the regulated community, and
- to return all violators to compliance as quickly and effectively as possilbe.
