the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 1]
________________________________________________________________________
The Environmental Protection Agency protects and enhances our
environment today and for future generations to the fullest extent
possible under the laws enacted by Congress. The Agency's mission is to
control and abate pollution in the areas of air,
[[Page 522]]
[[Page 523]]
water, solid waste, pesticides, radiation, and toxic substances. Its
mandate is to mount an integrated, coordinated attack on environmental
pollution in cooperation with State and local governments.
The Environmental Protection Agency was established in the executive
branch as an independent agency pursuant to Reorganization Plan No. 3 of
1970 (5 U.S.C. app.), effective December 2, 1970. It was created to
permit coordinated and effective governmental action on behalf of the
environment. The Agency is designed to serve as the public's advocate
for a livable environment.
Activities
Air and Radiation The air activities of the Agency include:
--development of national programs, technical policies, and
regulations for air pollution control;
--enforcement of standards;
--development of national standards for air quality, emission
standards for new stationary and mobile sources, and emission standards
for hazardous pollutants;
--technical direction, support, and evaluation of regional air
activities; and
--provision of training in the field of air pollution control.
Related activities include technical assistance to States and
agencies having radiation protection programs, including radon
mitigation programs and a national surveillance and inspection program
for measuring radiation levels in the environment.
For further information, call 202-260-7400.
Water The Agency's water quality activities represent a coordinated
effort to restore the Nation's waters. The functions of this program
include:
--development of national programs, technical policies, and
regulations for water pollution control and water supply;
--ground water protection;
--marine and estuarine protection;
--enforcement of standards;
--water quality standards and effluent guidelines development;
--technical direction, support, and evaluation of regional water
activities;
--development of programs for technical assistance and technology
transfer; and
--provision of training in the field of water quality.
For further information, call 202-260-5700.
Solid Waste and Emergency Response The Office of Solid Waste and
Emergency Response provides policy, guidance, and direction for the
Agency's hazardous waste and emergency response programs. The functions
of these programs include:
--development of policies, standards, and regulations for hazardous
waste treatment, storage, and disposal;
--national management of the Superfund toxic waste cleanup program;
--development of guidelines for the emergency preparedness and
``Community Right To Know'' programs;
--development of guidelines and standards for underground storage
tanks;
--enforcement of applicable laws and regulations;
--analysis of technologies and methods for the recovery of useful
energy from solid waste; and
--provision of technical assistance in the development, management,
and operation of waste management activities.
For further information, call 202-260-4610.
Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances The Office of Pesticides
and Toxic Substances is responsible for:
--developing national strategies for the control of toxic
substances;
--directing the pesticides and toxic substances enforcement
activities;
--developing criteria for assessing chemical substances, standards
for test protocols for chemicals, rules and procedures for industry
reporting and regulations for the control of substances deemed to be
hazardous to man or the environment; and
--evaluating and assessing the impact of existing chemicals, new
chemicals,
[[Page 524]]
and chemicals with new uses to determine the hazard and, if needed,
develop appropriate restrictions.
Additional activities include:
--controlling and regulating pesticides and reducing their use to
ensure human safety and protection of environmental quality;
--establishing tolerance levels for pesticides that occur in or on
food;
--monitoring pesticide residue levels in food, humans, and nontarget
fish and wildlife and their environments; and
--investigating pesticide accidents.
It also coordinates activities under its statutory responsibilities
with other agencies for the assessment and control of toxic substances
and pesticides.
For further information, call 202-260-2902.
Research and Development The Office of Research and Development is
responsible for a national research program in pursuit of technological
controls of all forms of pollution. It directly supervises the research
activities of the Agency's national laboratories and gives technical
policy direction to those laboratories that support the program
responsibilities of the regional offices. Close coordination of the
various research programs is designed to yield a synthesis of knowledge
from the biological, physical, and social sciences that can be
interpreted in terms of total human and environmental needs.
General functions include management of selected demonstration
programs, planning for Agency environmental quality monitoring programs,
coordination of Agency monitoring efforts with those of other Federal
agencies, the States, and other public bodies, and dissemination of
Agency research, development, and demonstration results.
For further information, call 202-260-7676.
Regional Offices
The Agency's 10 regional offices represent its commitment to the
development of strong local programs for pollution abatement. The
Regional Administrators are responsible for accomplishing, within their
regions, the national program objectives established by the Agency. They
develop, propose, and implement an approved regional program for
comprehensive and integrated environmental protection activities.
