## Sec. 13-275. Site Assessment and Prioritization

Prince George's County, Md., Code § 13-275 (2026)

(a) To effectively accomplish the Environmental Crimes Unit's mission, it is essential to identify locations in which the enforcement teams will target. Site audits are critical to designation of target areas. Site assessments shall be conducted through a variety of means, including, but not limited to: intelligence data currently in the possession of the County, visual ground-level assessments conducted by the Environmental Crimes Unit enforcement teams, aerial assessments conducted by the Environmental Crimes Unit enforcement teams, other inter-agency groups such as the Nuisance Abatement Board, and resident and other stakeholder complaints.

(b) Once site assessments are completed and data is examined, a finalized list of geographical target areas will be established. Target areas will be prioritized and enforcement efforts will commence.

(c) Gathered intelligence information shall be stored in a computerized data base to facilitate the work of the Environmental Crimes Unit.

(d) The Department of Public Works and Transportation shall give priority to cleaning up those sites in the public right of way referred to them by the Environmental Crimes Unit and the Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement shall give priority to causing the cleaning up of private property sites referred to them by the Environmental Crimes Unit.

(e) The site assessment and prioritization facilitated by the Environmental Crimes Unit may be altered at the discretion of the County Executive or their designee, consistent with the mission of the Environmental Crimes Unit.
