The CWA NPDES Compliance Monitoring StrategyВ provides implementation guidance to EPA regions and authorized states by describing EPAвЂ™s inspection frequency goals. EPA oversees authorized state programs and has direct implementation responsibilities for the unauthorized states (ID, NM, MA and NH) as well as federal facilities and in Indian Country. EPA has authorized all but four states to implement their own NDPES programs to control water pollution. The NPDES Compliance Inspection ManualВ provides information on how compliance inspections are conducted.Д¬ompliance monitoring under the NPDES Program takes place largely at the state level. The objective is to address the most significant problems and to promote compliance among the regulated community.
