The National Agriculture Compliance Assistance Center is the "first stop" for information about environmental requirements that affect the agricultural community. The Ag Center was created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the support of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Through this web site and other channels, the Center offers comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about compliance -- commonsense, flexible approaches that are both environmentally protective and agriculturally sound. The Center also provides information on reducing pollution and making good use of the latest pollution prevention technologies.

This Ag Center home page is your gateway to a large library of compliance information, as well as up-to-date news about related EPA programs and proposals. On most topics, the Ag Center offers publications that you can either read online, download, or order by fax or mail. For more information on how to get the most out of the Ag Center web site, visit "About the Ag Center."
