Abstract:

The EPA was established as an independent agency within the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government, effective December 2, 1970. EPA was created to enable coordinated and effective governmental action on behalf of the environment. EPA endeavors to achieve a systematic control and abatement of pollution by properly administering and integrating a variety of research, monitoring, standard-setting, and enforcement activities.

          EPA provides coordination and support for research and anti-pollution activities conducted by state and local governments, public and private groups, individuals, and educational institutions. In addition, EPA reinforces efforts on the part of other Federal agencies to assess the impact of their operations on the environment. EPA furnishes written comments on environmental impact statements and publishes its findings, especially when those reveal that a proposal is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of public health, welfare, or environmental treatment. EPA is designed to serve as the public's advocate for a safe, habitable environment.

          EPA is organized into the following twelve offices:

          Office of the Administrator / Deputy Administrator
          Office of Administration and Resources Management
          Office of Air and Radiation
          Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance
          Office of General Counsel
          Office of Inspector General
          Office of International Activities

          Office of Research and Development
          Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response
