DEP IC/EC Audit Program To provide a level of assurance that the PRSRs are fulfilling their obligations under their ICs, the Waste Cleanup Program has established a program to independently verify both ICs and ECs on a five-year cycle. This effort is called ICECAP (IC/EC Audit Program). State contractors are tasked to review the county property records to verify that the restrictions are currently recorded on the deed, interview property owners to determine if they are aware of the property use restrictions, and inspect the property for any signs that the restrictions are not being maintained (e.g., wells installed where they are prohibited, breaches in an impermeable cap, etc.). The results of the inspections are sent to DEP site managers and the Office of General Counsel for further action. The goal of ICECAP is to perform inspections at every 5 years to ensure that the ICs/ECs are in place and effective. Other DEP cleanup programs may also periodically inspect IC/ECs. As part of the recorded IC, the property owners who own conditionally closed sites grant site access to DEP for inspection purposes.
