What These Risk Levels Mean
Active Enforcement
CalRecycle has issued a formal Notice of Violation or the jurisdiction is actively working under a Corrective Action Plan.
What happens next:
- Mandatory progress reporting
- Potential administrative penalties
- Public record of non-compliance
Elevated Scrutiny
CalRecycle has sent a Compliance Evaluation Letter or Implementation Record Request. The jurisdiction is being actively monitored.
What happens next:
- Document production requirements
- Staff time diverted to responses
- Potential escalation to CAP or NOV
Low Oversight Risk
No current enforcement signals in CalRecycle's public data. This does not guarantee compliance—only that no action has been taken yet.
Why this can change:
- EAR filing gaps or anomalies
- Complaint-triggered reviews
- Random compliance audits
Active Enforcement (16)
These jurisdictions have received formal enforcement action. Public Works Directors and City Managers should treat this as a career-impacting situation.
Corrective status typically increases documentation demands on Public Works and Sustainability staff.
