The target for “Facilities with 4 or more MMP violations Not Assessed within 18 Months of Accrual” is 0, actual achieved column shows number not addressed within 18 months. Number of facilities with 4 or more MMP violations that were addressed within 18 is not shown. RB5 staff are continuing to make improvements towards tracking violations--particularly the Class 1 violations--utilizing the State's CIWQS database. Enforcement staff at RB5 will continue to work with State Board staff to ensure that all Class 1 violations identified in CIWQS are responded to within 18 months. The five facilities identified as having four or more MMPs older than 18 months and not yet addressed are: Collins Pine (NOV issued 21 August 2014; received response 19 September 2014; issuance of ACL is pending); Pacific Sprouts (ACL issued 8 September 2014); Original 16-1 Mine (referred to AG's office); Atwater Regional WWTF (ACL to be issed 30 September 2014); and Stallion Springs WWTF (ACL to be issued 31 October 2014).

WHAT THE CARD IS SHOWING

Each target card provides a direct comparison of actual outputs for the fiscal year (July 1st to June 30th) to the target estimates established at the outset of the fiscal year. While budgetary and personnel information is not directly aligned with the activities being assessed, it does provide a basis for understanding the relative priority of key programs within each region and across the State. For the actual outputs presented, the Water Boards are continuing to evolve its data bases for improved accuracy. Some of the measurements reported may be different than the measurements tracked by the regions and programs. In addition, there are several targets for which outputs cannot be readily displayed without modification to the databases. This includes the number of permits revised, which should include the number of permits reviewed, revised and/or rescinded.

For the actual outputs presented, the Water Boards are continuing to evolve its data bases for improved accuracy. Some of the measurements reported may be different than the measurements tracked by the regions and programs. Notably, the data portrayed include entries completed before November 4, 2014 and may not reflect data input after that period.

WHY THIS CARD IS IMPORTANT

Beginning with FY 2009-10, performance targets were established for certain output measures. Targets are goals that establish measurable levels of performance to be achieved within a specified time period. This card demonstrates how the resources of the region are being deployed to protect water quality. In establishing the targets, the Regional Water Boards considered the unique differences and needs within their respective watersheds, their work priorities given available resources, external factors such as furloughs, and prior year outputs.

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
