------------------------------------------------------------------------

The mission of the Environmental Protection Agency is to protect human 
health and to safeguard the natural environment--air, water, and land--
upon which life depends to the fullest extent possible under the laws 
enacted by Congress.

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:
    --developing national programs, policies, regulations, and standards 
for air quality, emission standards for stationary and mobile sources, 
and emission standards for hazardous air pollutants;
    --conducting research and providing information on indoor air 
pollutants to the public;
    --providing technical direction, support, and evaluation of regional 
air activities;
    --providing training in the field of air pollution control; and
    --providing 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, 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:

[[Page 508]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] T185193.036

[[Page 509]]

    --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;
    --implementation of special initiatives such as the brownfields 
national partnership;
    --management of environmental justice/public participation programs 
related to waste siting issues;
    --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 Prevention, 
Pesticides, and Toxic Substances is responsible for:
    --promoting pollution prevention and the public's right to know 
about chemical risk;
    --developing and implementing strategies to promote pollution 
prevention through source reduction;
    --evaluating and regulating pesticides and chemicals to safeguard 
all Americans;
    --establishing safe levels for pesticide residues on food;
    --developing national strategies for control of toxic substances;
    --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 that may be 
hazardous to people or the environment; and
    --evaluating and assessing the impact of existing chemicals, new 
chemicals, and chemicals with new uses to determine the hazard and 
develop appropriate restrictions.
    The Office 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 (ORD) 
provides the scientific foundation for the Agency's environmental 
protection mission. ORD's chief role is to conduct and support high 
quality research targeted to understanding and resolving the Nation's 
most serious environmental threats. In addition, ORD develops methods 
and technologies to reduce exposures to pollution and prevent its 
creation. The Office is also a major player in sharing information on 
technological innovations to protect people and the environment. ORD 
prepares health and ecological risk assessments and makes 
recommendations for sound risk management strategies in order to assure 
that highest risk pollution problems receive optimum remediation. The 
Office manages a vital extramural grants program entitled Science To 
Achieve Results (STAR), which awards research grants to scientists in 
universities and students in environmental science. All ORD extramural 
and intramural research is carefully aligned to support Agency 
environmental goals and strategic priorities.

For further information, call 202-564-6620.

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.
