EPA Region 4 began a
College and University Compliance Assistance Initiative in 2002 to
assist colleges and universities, both private and public, in
understanding and complying with environmental regulations. Potential
environmental problem areas at colleges and universities include
improper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste; improper
laboratory chemical storage; air quality problems; storm water run-off
and wastewater discharge; inadequate underground storage tank
management; dysfunctional sewage treatment facilities; and improper
abatement of lead-based paint and asbestos.
After several years of educating colleges
and universities about their environmental responsibilities, the EPA
Region 4 College and University Compliance Incentive Initiative was
launched in 2006 to encourage voluntary self-auditing pursuant to EPA’s
Audit Policies. The EPA Audit Policies provide incentives for regulated
entities that voluntarily discover, promptly disclose, and quickly
correct violations that would otherwise be subject to enforcement,
including financial penalties. For example, self-disclosure may result
in a partial or complete reduction in financial penalties.
