USEPA Announces Web-Based System for Companies to Self-Disclose Environmental Violations

By Walter James

ADVERTISEMENTS

The USEPA recently announced a pilot project that allows regulated facilities nationwide to self-disclose environmental violations in a secure environment on the USEPA?s website under the agency?s audit policy.  This electronic self-disclosure system (called eDisclosure) is expected to reduce transaction costs for companies by ensuring that each disclosure contains complete information.

Under the pilot program, regulated facilities nationwide will be able to use eDisclosure to disclose violations of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.  Regulated facilities located in Region VI (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) will be able to disclose violations of all environmental laws.  Based on the results of the pilot program, the USEPA will consider expanding eDisclosure to its other regions.

 

More later.
