*Are* inspections typically how violations are found? What about through their self-reporting? Seems like there are many in clear violation just from that #44

Clarify the difference between CAA and CWA - inspections for CAA, self-reporting for CWA

I really don't know how to say this without getting in to what may be too much detail about the CAA and CWA

"This is how many violations, especially under the Clean Air Act, are discovered...."

I guess the question in my mind mostly has to do with whether they use the self-reported data to assess penalties, or whether the most self-reported data might do is trigger an inspection. Do we know?

I think penalties are at the very end of a lengthy process of informal actions, letters, and probably, somewhere in between, inspections, so I would say it's most likely that self-reported data triggers an inspection
