This report includes both permit violations and permit triggers. Permit triggers are not violations but rather when triggered require the permit holder to take an action defined in the permit. Benchmark exceedances and design criteria (85%) exceedances are permit triggers and not permit violations.

If the “is addressed” column in this report states “yes” then Ecology has taken an informal or formal action to address the violation or permit trigger. It does not refer to any action taken by the permit holder. Ecology’s performance goal is to address all permit violations for individual permits. The report includes NA (not applicable) for general permits.
