* These are State-permitted categorical industries.
** Coverage rate is defined as the number of sites inspected divided by the sum of permits/licenses in
effect, the POTWs and the significant industrial users. However, the Program is responsible for
inspecting only the permittees, the POTWs and only some of the industrial users. The Program is
required by statute to provide a 100% coverage rate of those facilities. In FY 2009, the program met
that requirement.
