In April, Quigley re-energized the initiative, starting with an internal review of DEP policies on inspections, compliance and enforcement. Recommendations were drafted but never implemented.

In keeping with DEP’s commitment to transparency, the process will include a public notice and comment period, anticipated to occur in the summer, the agency says.ĭEP first launched a compliance monitoring initiative in 2013 to evaluate compliance and enforcement policies and strategies and to update a 2004 internal policy on how the agency handles violations of law and commonwealth regulations. “This foundation will help to ensure that our work across all programs is internally aligned, consistent and in compliance with state and federal regulatory requirements.” “The result of this process will be a general, inspection, compliance and enforcement policy aimed at improving consistency for all our program-specific policies,” says DEP Secretary John Quigley. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), headquartered in Harrisburg, is restarting a process to improve statewide consistency in the way DEP conducts inspections of regulated entities and activities, ensures compliance with state and federal laws and regulations and handles enforcement cases.

The optional Spectro Metal Database helps extend prepackaged libraries or create customized grade libraries. The Spectro xSort AlloyPlus (Combi) features a top-of-the-line silicon drift detector (SDD) and is designed to provide reliable, high-productivity measurement and analysis. The Spectro xSort Alloy employs a silicon PIN (Si-PIN) detector and delivers grade identification of metals in seconds without extensive analysis, the company says. The analyzer is available in different models.

Options include an integrated GPS receiver and integrated video camera.

All calibrations loaded into Spectro xSort are ready for use.Īdditional features include an X-ray safety gasket to prevent backscatter radiation from light element matrix samples wireless LAN quick-change battery interface bezel with operator-defined hot keys “live” analysis results simplified software with touch screen and the Spectro iCal one-sample, one-time easy automated calibration system. A shutter that automatically closes the measurement window between analyses to protect internal components also functions as the sample material for unique, automatic iCal standardization.Its compact, one-piece 3.62-pound (1.64-kilogram) design is optimized for easy use in the field, even in tight or less accessible spots. Operators don’t have to switch methods between samples or bother with helium flushes or vacuum systems.Spectro says advantages of the xSort include: The Spectro xSort AlloyPlus analyzes most alloys in two seconds, Spectro says, and identifies alloys based on light elements, such as aluminum, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur, in seven seconds.
