The Enforcement Branch consists of thirteen (13) personnel, including the eight (8) district inspectors and is the enforcement arm of the Division. It is responsible for ensuring permitted facilities are operating according to federal, state and specific requirements as identified in their permit; as well as complaint investigations and illegal dumping enforcement action.

To accomplish this task, the Enforcement Branch’s personnel conduct periodic "no notice" inspections of permitted facilities. Inspections are assigned a numerical value to determine percent compliance.

The Enforcement Branch’s personnel also investigate citizens' complaints about illegal dumping and attempt to identify those responsible for the illegal activities. After those responsible are identified, the Branch strives to obtain voluntary compliance and clean up, or may take civil or criminal enforcement action where necessary.
