 Annual Reports

Current performance and trend data are available via EPA/State Comparative Maps and Dashboards.

For the Clean Water Act, the Annual Noncompliance Report (ANCR) for Non-Major Facilities is posted annually below.

Information about Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) public water system compliance and enforcement activity is available on the Drinking Water Dashboard. Annual National Public Water System Reports for fiscal year 2013 and before are available on EPA's compliance website.

Annual Reports for other programs provided summary, state-level data for facility universe, inspections, compliance status, and enforcement of the Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), and hazardous waste (RCRA) laws for 2008 and 2009. (As noted, the Clean Water Act Annual Noncompliance Report (ANCR) for Non-Major Facilities is available for other years shown below.) The reports used "frozen" data that may have been used to evaluate compliance and enforcement activity at the end of each fiscal year. "Frozen" data provides a snapshot view of how compliance and enforcement programs are performing. Please visit ECHO's State Comments on Frozen Data page to read state concerns regarding these data.

Annual Reports with detailed descriptions of each metric are available in PDF format. Due to program changes, metrics presented in the State Comparative Maps and Dashboards may not match metrics in Annual Reports.

 State Review Framework

The State Review Framework (SRF) is a tool used by EPA to assess each state's enforcement of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and hazardous waste laws. In conducting the State Review Framework, EPA collaborates with each state on reports. These reports allow EPA to track recommendations for states to improve their enforcement programs.

Current performance and trend data, including some data used by the State Review Framework program, are available via EPA/State Comparative Maps and Dashboards. The State Review Framework project website includes an interactive map with links to full State Review Framework reports, answers to frequently asked questions, links by state back to the ECHO website for viewing recommendations and their status, and an option to be informed by email when new reports are added to the website.

State Review Framework Data Downloads and Data Metrics Information
EPA "freezes" data annually to provide a snapshot view of performance. The data downloads below use these frozen datasets. Three file formats are provided, all of which contain the same information.
