Environmental Protection Agency: Financial Statements 2017

Ms Laura Burke:
The awards in the District Courts are payable to the EPA. In 2017, we had a recovery rate of 94.7%. Overall, when we combine 2016 to 2018, we had a recovery rate of 97%. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, cases are different. I understand that the vast majority of those awards go to the State.
