14 Enforcement Backlog In early 2005, IDEM identified 120 open enforcement cases over 2 years old. Currently one of the original 120 cases is still open. Our goal is to resolve all enforcement cases within one year of the referral. We currently have 24 cases that are more than 12 months old—no new cases over 2 years old.

15 Continuous Improvement IT initiatives Tempo – Unified environmental database Virtual File Cabinet – File room via Web Pay for performance Set clear performance expectations Hold staff accountable for their decisions Provides an incentive to go beyond minimum job requirements to assist regulated community

16 Continuous Improvement Reduce the use of contractors for air permitting and ELTF claim review Reduce air permit process time Applying lean manufacturing concepts (Six Sigma and Kaizen) to improve permitting efficiency and timeliness Reduce deficiencies in permit applications More information available via our website Training workshops on permit requirements and the importance of submitting complete and accurate applications

17 Continuous Improvement Rearranged stormwater programs Allows for cross-training and increased efficiency Allows focus on policy development and plan review of LTCPs of combined sewer overflows Reassigned management oversight of NPDES permitting activities resulting in a significant reduction of NPDES permit backlog.
