Thirty-eight different department operations and nine different employee functions were observed and analyzed. There were compliance areas at every facility visited which needed strengthening. A total of 222 recommendations for strengthening those areas are included in the research report. The department has implemented or has made plans to implement most of the recommendations concerning environmental compliance areas. The same is expected with regard to the occupational safety and health compliance areas. 17. Key Words 18. Distribution Statement No restrictions.
