1. An inspection is determined to have been performed in an area with potential EJ concerns either based on the EJScreen value or on the results of a more detailed manual review performed.
2. “EJ Not Applicable” are exempt because there is no specific locational impact data (e.g. imports).
3. “EJ Score Not Available” are missing facility information.

Footnotes:
1. EPA is reporting results for cases initiated since FY 2014, since we did not routinely collect information on potential EJ concerns prior to FY 2014. EPA relies on EJScreen or on the results of a more detailed manual review performed to determine if a case addressed facilities in an area of potential EJ concern.
2. The green bar indicates the case addressed at least one facility in an area of potential EJ concern. EJ Not Applicable are exempt because there is no specific locational impact data (e.g., imports).
3. The number of conclusions on this bar chart are slightly lower than the total number of conclusions that EPA obtained overall as reflected on the “Total Civil Enforcement Case Conclusions FY 2014 – FY 2023” slide, because cases initiated prior to FY 2014 are excluded.

Footnotes:

Footnotes:
1. Totals include dollars committed for site Investigations, site cleanups and cost recovered from EPA cleanup work.
2. Totals include “allowed claims” under bankruptcy settlements.
3. All prior FY dollar figures in the graph are adjusted to reflect the current value in FY 2023 dollars based on the rate of inflation/deflation as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.

2. For multi-facility cases where only some facilities are in an area of potential EJ concern, the Cost of Complying Actions is adjusted for the percentage of the facilities in an area of potential EJ concern.
3. “Injunctive relief” refers to actions mandated by an enforcement action that a regulated entity must perform, or refrain from performing, to bring that entity into compliance with environmental laws.
4. All prior FY dollar figures in the graph are adjusted to reflect the current value in FY 2023 dollars based on the rate of inflation/deflation as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
