WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING

Although there is significant variation between the Regional Water Boards, on average 73% of the facilities regulated under the Land Disposal Program are operating under current permit provisions and do not need their requirements to be revised and updated.

WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT

The Land Disposal program establishes the required frequency for permit revision based on the classification of the facilities and their threat to water quality. Permit revision frequency are typically every 5, 10 and 15 years with the highest threat being reviewed every 5 years.  Revising and reissuing permits for Land Disposal facilities require a significant amount of time and resources and constitutes a good indicator of overall program performance.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
