*The significant number of administrative settlements in FY 2001 was due to 1,700 Safe Drinking Water Act administrative enforcement actions related to non-submissions of the required Consumer Confidence Report, an annual drinking water quality report for consumers.
**The increase in facilities involved in Audit Policy settlements is due, largely in part, to the Agency's continuing efforts to encourage corporations with multiple facilities to conduct corporate-wide audits and develop corporate compliance systems. EPA has reached corporate-wide agreements with the telecommunications and iron and steel sectors.
***More than $350 million of this amount was attributed to cleanup involving the Massachusetts Military Reservation.
