What is the difference between Ecology checking the annual reports for completeness vs. compliance?
A29: As an early step of checking for completeness, Ecology permit specialists will confirm that the annual report submittal includes the appropriate responsible party’s signature and all required attachments. To check further for completeness, Ecology will confirm that you answered all appropriate questions and that the responses are valid (i.e., can be recognized by the Ecology permit information system, WPLCS). This is an automated process. Ecology’s “compliance” review is more complex. During the compliance review, the permit specialist will also check to confirm that all permit requirements (including timely submittal of the annual report) are being met. The compliance check is an ongoing process and may take several months to conduct.
