________________________________________________________________________
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, 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
    --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

[[Page 507]]





[[Page 508]]

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, including:
    --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
    --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, including:
    --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 the land disposal of 
hazardous wastes and for underground storage tanks;
    --analysis of technologies and methods for the recovery of useful 
energy from solid waste;
    --economic impact assessment of RCRA and CERCLA regulations;
    --coordination with the Department of Defense on base closure 
environmental issues; and
    --technical assistance in the development, management, and operation 
of waste management activities, including technical assistance to 
Federal facilities.

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, 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

[[Page 509]]

programs, planning for Agency environmental quality monitoring programs, 
coordination of Agency monitoring efforts with those of other Federal 
agencies, 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.
