Research and keep informed of pertinent information and developments in areas such as EPA laws and regulations.
Determine which sites and violation reports to investigate, and coordinate compliance and enforcement activities with other government agencies.
Inform individuals and groups of pollution control regulations and inspection findings, and explain how problems can be corrected.
Prepare data to calculate sewer service charges and capacity fees.
Investigate complaints and suspected violations regarding illegal dumping, pollution, pesticides, product quality, or labeling laws.
Prepare, organize, and maintain inspection records.
Respond to questions and inquiries, such as those concerning service charges and capacity fees, or refer them to supervisors.
Evaluate label information for accuracy and conformance to regulatory requirements.
Inform health professionals, property owners, and the public about harmful properties and related problems of water pollution and contaminated wastewater.
Interview individuals to determine the nature of suspected violations and to obtain evidence of violations.
Maintain and repair materials, worksites, and equipment.
Perform laboratory tests on samples collected, such as analyzing the content of contaminated wastewater.
Conduct research on hazardous waste management projects in order to determine the magnitude of problems, and treatment or disposal alternatives and costs.
Prepare written, oral, tabular, and graphic reports summarizing requirements and regulations, including enforcement and chain of custody documentation.
Review and evaluate applications for registration of products containing dangerous materials, or for pollution control discharge permits.
Participate in the development of spill prevention programs and hazardous waste rules and regulations, and recommend corrective actions for hazardous waste problems.
