Wisconsin’s Environmental Compliance Audit Program

As part of the Green Tier Initiative, Smart Sand participates in the Environmental Compliance Audit Program which was designed to enable businesses and other regulated entities to stay in voluntary compliance with the latest DNR regulations. The program’s participants voluntarily audit their own environmental compliance, then disclose findings and work to correct violations all while maintaining limited liability. The law that governs the program contains specifically provides regulations that prevent use of the law as a way to avoid penalties for known or serious violations.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT PROGRAM:

• Encourages compliance audits to improve both awareness of regulatory requirements and compliance with DNR requirements
• Builds friendlier working relationships between companies and the Wisconsin DNR that are based on performance and open communication
• Allows Wisconsin businesses to face substantially less financial exposure and limited liability for violations disclosed as part of an audit
