Statutory (prudential) standing: Statutory (or prudential)...

Congress has authorized citizen suits only when the government fails to exercise its enforcement responsibility.
Violations are proven where the defendant filed written reports documenting violations and admitted the violations were preventable.
A citizen suit may be brought for violation of any provisions of SIP programs.
