ICIS-NPDES Single Event Violation (SEV) Data Elements
This section appears when the selected violation category and violation type combination has an ICIS-NPDES SEV Code assigned. Data entered is used for transmitting SEVs to ICIS-NPDES.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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.”
