The Environmental Protection Agency prepared separate "Watch List" for facilities in violation of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. According to the EPA, polluters on the "Watch Lists" may be serious or chronic offenders, alleged violators of regulations, and/or being tracked for compliance with a court order.
The latest "Watch Lists" available from the EPA are for September and October 2011. In September and October 2001, Louisiana had a total of 51 facilities on the Environmental Protection Agency "Watch List" for violations of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery (hazardous materials) Act.
