RCRA Inspection Finding Register

PROBLEM: RCRA enforcement starts with a compliance evaluation inspection — and the findings from those inspections are how violations surface. Apple's Santa Clara facility was inspected in August 2023 and again in January 2024 before EPA's October 2025 enforcement action; the inspection findings, notices of violation and requests for information built the case over more than a year. Inspection findings are the early warning system of the whole program, and they currently live in separate dockets.

SOLUTION: A RCRA inspection finding register: every compliance evaluation inspection logged with its findings, its notices and its follow-up, with repeat findings across inspections flagged — so an inspection is the start of a tracked case, not a standalone visit.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Apple inspections Aug 17–18, 2023 and Jan 16, 2024; notices of violation and requests for information April 30 and November 6, 2024; enforcement action Oct 27, 2025; sources: EPA Docket No. RCRA-09-2026-0006 via ashleygjovik.com. Distinct from HW-08 (repeat RCRA violation pattern register): this draft tracks inspection findings as they accumulate, before any violation is charged.
