Start Date

The date the violation began. This can indicate the date the violation condition actually began, or the date it was first identified, depending on how the agency chooses to use this field.

Non-Compliance End Date

The date the violation condition ended. This field can be used for different purposes depending on how an agency chooses to use it. For example, it could be used to indicate the date on which the violation condition was addressed via a compliance or enforcement action.

Guidance from EPA ICIS-NPDES Violations (Single Event End Date): “This field should be left blank if the SEV is on-going (i.e., violation has not yet been corrected at the time of data entry into ICIS-NPDES). The regulatory authority should set this date to when the particular violation ends (e.g., sanitary sewer overflow from a broken pipe has stopped). “

Continuous Period

Indicates that the violation condition occurred on an ongoing basis between the start and end dates.

Is Significant Non-compliance

Indicates whether or not the violation is significant.

Use of this checkbox is at the discretion of individual agency and/or program. Checking this box does not affect any system behavior.

ICIS-NPDES Single Event Violation (SEV) Data Elements

This section displays when the selected Violation Category / Violation Type lookup combination has an ICIS-NPDES Single Event Violation (SEV) Code specified.

EPA Guidance Note: The four RNC fields are related to the legacy Quarterly Noncompliance Report (QNCR) and the use of significant noncompliance as a program management tool. The QNCR is currently in the process of being replaced by the NPDES Noncompliance Report (NNCR), which does not use the four RNC related fields from ICIS-NPDES. The NNCR includes all SEVs (regardless of the presence or absence of the four RNC fields). For more information, see the NNCR Technical Support Guide.”
