Caveats:
0EPA administers the CWA program in the following states/territories: AK, DC, ID, MA, NH, NM, AS, GU, PR, and VI.
EPA administers the RCRA program in the following states/territories: AK, IA, and VI

1 Metric 1B1 data is pulled manually for ICIS-NPDES states, and is available only for FY2008 through FY2010. Metric 1B1 data is programmed for PCS states, and is available for all FYs. Because of the mix of manual and programmed data, the percentage shown in national average column reflects the national average for PCS or ICIS-NPDES, and not the true national average.
2 Metric 1B2 data is pulled manually, and is available only for FY2007 through FY2010
3 Metric 1B3 data is pulled manually, and is available only for FY2007 through FY2010
4 Metric 1C1 data is pulled manually for ICIS-NPDES states, and is available only for FY2008 through FY2010. Metric 1C1 data is programmed for PCS states, and is available for all FYs.
5 Metric 1C2 data is pulled manually, and is available only for FY2007 through FY2010
6 Metric 1C3 data is pulled manually, and is available only for FY2007 through FY2010
7 Metric 1D2 data is pulled manually, and is available only for CY2007 through CY2009.
