Local Corrective Action Plans: Collection and Use of Valid and Reliable Data For Determining Factors Contributing To Noncompliance (2008)

This tool, developed by NECTAC, WRRC, and DAC, is designed to assist local programs/districts in identifying factors contributing to noncompliance for SPP/APR Indicators C-1, C-7, C-8, B-11, B-12 and B-15. By determining contributing factors appropriate strategies to ensure timely correction of noncompliance can be developed in local Corrective Action Plans.

Indicator C8 is covered on pages 8–16.
Indicator B-12 is covered on pages 20–22.
Indicator B-11 is covered on pages 23–25.
