  1. Compliance Monitoring and the Integrated Compliance Information System Getting the most out of ICIS 2/2007 NPDES Inspector Workshop

  2. Topics • Background • Current users • Future Users • Using ICIS Today • Why using ICIS is so important to NPDES Inspectors

  3. 2009+ Air Facility System (AFS) Phase III Modernized Permit Compliance System (PCS) Direct user release implemented June/August 2006 2006/9 Phase II Completed and Launched June 2002 Federal Enforcement Docket System Phase I 2002 Regional Tracking Systems Interface with Facility Registry System (FRS) Interface with Data Integration Tools (e.g., IDEA) Background: ICIS Phases and Delivery Time Frames

  4. PCS Modernization Direct User Release Completed in FY2006 • On June 23, 2006, the new system, the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS 2.0) was released. • ICIS is one system, but has two components: • ICIS-NPDES –supports the implementation and management of the NPDES permitting and compliance enforcement program in EPA and states. • Direct Users: 21 States, 2 Tribes, and 9 territories are now using ICIS-NPDES instead of PCS as well as EPA. • ICIS-FE&C - supports the Federal Enforcement and Compliance component of EPA’s civil enforcement and compliance program.

  5. Current ICIS-NPDES Direct Users *State government not approved for the NPDES program; implemented by EPA Region. Italics – Tribe or Territory. ^ State may really become direct users since do DMR batch via PCS desktop utility.

  6. Future Users: ICIS-NPDES *Batch Release • 3-Part Batch Release Approach: • Part 1: DMR flows from state systems to ICIS-NPDES from hybrid states. • Hybrid States are states that batch their DMR data and direct enter all their other data into Permit Compliance System • Part 2: DMR flows from facilities in direct user states (NetDMR) to ICIS-NPDES. • All States currently using ICIS-NPDES • Part 3: All other non-DMR flows for full batch states. *Batch - users who will transfer data electronically

  7. Future Users State Status in the PCS Modernization Process *State government not approved for the NPDES program; implemented by EPA Region. Italics – Tribe or Territory. ^ State may really become direct users since do DMR batch via PCS desktop utility.

  8. Using ICIS Today • Data Base of Record • How to get access to ICIS • The Compliance Monitoring Module • Compliance Monitoring Data Entry • Linking Facilities • National Priorities • OECA End of Year Certification process • How can ICIS help you? • ICIS Reports • OTIS Reports

  9. NPDES Database of Record • ICIS-NPDES is the data base of Record for • All State and Federal Inspections for migrated PCS States • All Inspection Conclusion Data Sheet Data (ICDS) • PCS is the data base of Record for • All State and Federal inspections for States still using PCS

  10. Getting into ICIS – • ICIS Address • https://icis.epa.gov/icis • accessible from work or home • available 7 days a week • ICIS User help available 8:00 – 5:00 Monday – Friday • 202-564-7756 or e-mail: icis@epa.gov

  11. How to get access or help in your Region? • Regional System Administrators

  12. ICIS Home Page

  13. Linking the Facility Searching by facility name

  14. Linking the Facility • All Compliance Monitoring Activities have to be linked to Facility Interest - NPDES Choose me Old Migrated Record For non-migrated States select PCS (important for future migration)

  15. Select Compliance Monitoring Category

  16. Compliance Monitoring Data Entry ScreenLinked to a NPDES Facility Interest

  17. A NPDES Facility Interest automatically links to the NPDES Permit record

  18. National Priorities Not a System Required field • OECA Reports our National Priority Outcomes • Can select more than one • Can select a National Priority and a Regional Priority The following screen shot shows the National Priority fields as they appear in ICIS.

  19. National Priorities FieldBelow ICDS & Contacts

  20. 2007 - National Priorities Select the NP (or regional priority) during the fiscal year the inspection is conducted.

  21. End Of Year – ICIS Certified Inspection Data • Federal Inspections/Evaluations • NPDES Majors • NPDES Minors • Federal Inspection Coverage • NPDES Majors • POTWs with Approved Pretreatment program • Other Annual Commitment System (ACS) Inspection Categories • NPDES Federal Oversight Inspections • CAFO Joint Inspections

  22. End Of Year - Inspections Regionally Certified Reported Nationally • National Priority Inspection/Evaluations • CAFO Inspections • CSO Inspections • SSO Inspections • MS4 Audits • Stormwater Construction Inspections • Stormwater Non-Construction Industrial inspections

  23. End Of Year - Inspections Regionally Certified Reported Nationally • ICDS • On Site Inspections (Deficiencies Observed/Communicated) • Facility Took Complying Action(s) to Address Communicated Deficiencies • Inspector Provided General or Site-Specific Compliance Assistance

  24. How ICIS-NPDES can help you • Become more efficient and analytic in your work • Target our compliance monitoring and enforcement program to the worst environmental problems while de-emphasizing investments in areas that do not show problems. • Reduce the resources needed to prepare for inspections through better, more complete analysis.

  25. Standard Reports

  26. NPDES Reports Reports / NPDES Reports / FY 2006 Certification Inspection Reports

  27. Federal Enforcement & Compliance ReportsICDS Specific Reports (will be changed to General or Site-Specific CA) Reports / Federal Enforcement and Compliance Reports / National Standard Reports

  28. Using OTIS for ICIS-NPDES data www.epa.gov/idea/otis For more information on OTIS contact Mike Barrette 202-564-7019 or Amelie VanDen Bos 202-564-0842

  29. An OTIS Facility Quick Search will show: Compliance Report Effluent Charts Water Quality Report Facility Map
