Evaluation Monitoring and Accountability. The parties intend to implement as enforceable commitments, federal and state regulatory flexibility, monitoring, record-keeping, and reporting provisions of this FPA through a site specific rulemaking to implement this project. The XL agreement will contain both enforceable and aspirational requirements and will establish certain limits and goals for Yolo County’s performance. The County will ensure compliance with legal requirements and ensure implementation of processes seeking to meet aspirational goals. The project sponsor will establish a record keeping system to ensure compliance, as well as accurate reporting of environmental performance. While the nature and extent of such reporting will be subject to negotiation, Yolo County will make any such reports available publicly and will specifically discuss our performance with the local stakeholder group.
Evaluation Monitoring and Accountability. 1. Each TSCA § 5 notice submitted by PPG under this Agreement will be evaluated by EPA. Only PMN chemical substances that are determined by EPA to present no or low health or environmental risk by Day-30 of EPA’s review will qualify for the regulatory flexibility discussed in Section IV.B.6. PPG will provide copies of results of P2 Framework model evaluations (e.g., computer printouts where appropriate) with notices submitted under this Agreement. EPA will use model results submitted by PPG to evaluate PPG’s use and application of the P2 Framework. PPG will report annually to EPA information of notices for which the risk screen has been utilized applying the P2 assessment and provide a report summarizing the advantages of using the P2 Framework assessment process.
Evaluation Monitoring and Accountability. Within the limits of this pilot project, regulatory flexibility would supercede the UCD requirements that would ordinarily apply and thus overcome the barriers to recycling of IBM’s sludge. These barriers are a direct consequence of the UCD requirements. Given such flexibility, there must be a commensurate level of accountability, monitoring and evaluation for this pilot project. With regard to the issue of accountability, the IBM East Fishkill facility is a hazardous waste generator and a permitted storage facility. As such, IBM agrees to conduct inspections, analyze the sludge, and generally meet the RCRA management standards that would otherwise not be applicable to the sludge subject to this XL project (i.e., sludge that is proposed for exclusion from the definition of solid waste, which is discussed more fully in Section 4.0). IBM will extend its accountability to this project and implement the voluntary commitments discussed below.
