What does Resolved Pending mean under the Clean Water Act (CWA)?
Resolved pending under the CWA program is a compliance status designation indicating that the permittee is in compliance with an enforcement order, but has not achieved full compliance with permit conditions. In most circumstances, this category indicates that an enforcement agreement with interim permit limits has been entered that will return the facility to compliance based upon terms and schedules noted in the agreement. Rather than continuing to designate these facilities as significant noncompliers, they are put into the resolved pending category. Violations of enforcement agreements may return the facility to significant noncompliance, while completion of all terms of the agreement will remove noncompliance designations.
