On December 9, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched its long-awaited eDisclosure portal.  The portal receives and automatically processes self-disclosed civil violations.  EPA states that it created the portal to streamline its Audit Policy and Small Business Compliance Policy to make the process faster and save resources.  The Audit Policy and Small Business Compliance Policy offer penalty mitigation for violations where the regulated entity meets specific conditions, including voluntary discovery, prompt disclosure and correction, and taking steps to prevent future violations.
