What are EPA s next steps on the units mentioned in the reports?
EPA has sent the final reports to each of the facilities and asked the facilities to provide plans and a schedule for addressing each of the recommendations in the report. We are working with the states and companies to ensure that the recommendations from the assessments are implemented in a timely manner. EPA could decide to take additional action if the circumstances warrant. The final reports as well as the company responses to the report recommendations are being posted online as they become available. EPA is particularly concerned about units with a poor rating and will be devoting special attention to those units. The Agency may take additional action in any case where the facility owner does not promptly take action to correct identified deficiencies that caused a unit to be given a poor rating.
