EPA ISSUES COMPLIANCE RECORD OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FACILITIES

A report on the environmental compliance record of federal government facilities throughout the United States has been published by EPA and is available to the public. “The State of Federal Facilities: An Overview of Environmental Compliance at Federal Facilities, FY 1997-98" report provides a breakdown of compliance rates at federal facilities regulated by environmental laws. It shows, for example, that rates have increased under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, remained steady under the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Toxic Substances Control Act, and declined under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. The report also compares compliance at federal facilities to private sector facilities and is available at: http://es.epa.gov/oeca/fedfac/soff9798.pdf or by calling the National Service Center for Environmental Publications at 1-800-490-9198.
