In this agreement, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Materials Management Division (MMD), is committing to accomplish, during fiscal years (FY) 2022 - 2023, based on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA) federal funding levels, its role of administering the National Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, in Michigan, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984.

Activities to be performed include:

1. RCRA Revision Checklists 240 to 243 and subsequent checklists, as the process allows, to continue to work with the U.S. EPA as it rolls out tools to incorporate environmental justice and climate change initiatives into the RCRA program.

2. To reduce the generation of hazardous waste by increasing compliance, the MMD will provide compliance assistance to the regulated community through regular inspections and numerous outreach efforts.

3. The MMD will encourage the regulated community to voluntarily discover, disclose, and correct violations before they are identified by regulatory agencies. This is to ensure the correction of violations in a timely manner to protect human health and the environment, foster HW program integrity, and deter future noncompliance.

4. The MMD will inspect active TSDFs one time per year. These inspections will include at least one District Compliance and Enforcement Inspection (CEI), Groundwater Monitoring Evaluation (GME)/ Operation and Maintenance (O&M), Post-Closure Cap (PC CAP), CA Cover/Cap, CA Maintenance and Monitoring (CAMM), or CA Compliance Inspection.
