Registration and Agreement for Clean Water Act Section 301 Compliance Audit Program for the Pork Production Industry

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) have agreed to a comprehensive and voluntary Clean Water Act Compliance Audit Program (CAP). The NPPC, which represents pork producers nationally, plans to have independent auditors conduct more than 10,000 of the audits nationwide to improve environmental management practices and assure compliance with the Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Act CAP provides incentives for pork producers to undertake voluntary comprehensive on-farm environment assessments by greatly reducing penalties for any Clean Water Act violations that are promptly disclosed and corrected under this program. Participation in the NPPC audits or CAP process is voluntary. This Notice announces the opportunity for pork producers to register for EPA's Clean Water Act Section 301 Compliance Audit Program (CAP) for the Pork Production Industry. This Notice also announces the availability of the text of the Agreement (CAP Agreement), which producers may sign to register for the program.
