Download or read book EPA Compliance and Enforcement Answer Book 2015 written by Adam Sowatzka and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency enforces an extensive array of federal environmental laws and regulations, and it delegates enforcement authority to state environmental officials as well. These laws may affect not only major manufacturing operations (like chemicals and automobiles), but also small businesses and operations such as hospitals, universities, farms, and municipal governments. Failure to comply may subject firms and their officers and employees to federal and state administrative proceedings, civil lawsuits, and criminal prosecutions. To help firms and individuals comply with the law and deal effectively with the EPA, this new book provides, in convenient question and- answer format, a brief overview of the main federal environmental laws, and it then focuses in detail on the practical aspects of compliance and enforcement. Is state enforcement less stringent than federal enforcement? What does a typical permit provide? What are the enforcement consequences of failing to comply with monitoring and reporting requirements? How does EPA set its enforcement priorities? What triggers an EPA inspection? What is the first thing that should be done when an inspector arrives? What is an environmental crime? Can a corporate officer be prosecuted for the conduct of an employee? What is an administrative compliance order? What is a notice of violation? What is the role of the Department of Justice in environmental enforcement? What does "imminent and substantial endangerment" mean? What is "economic benefit" and why does EPA seek to recover it as part of the penalty calculation? Is compliance with the language of the permit a defense? How does bankruptcy affect enforcement actions by EPA? What are the benefits of implementing an environmental management system? How does one make a voluntary disclosure under EPA's audit policy? Can a citizen suit be brought if EPA or a state is pursuing an enforcement action for the same conduct? These questions and hundreds of others are answered clearly and succinctly by Adam Sowatzka and Richard E. Glaze, Jr., based on the expertise they have gained both as lawyers for the government and as private practitioners advising clients regarding environmental compliance. As pointed out in the Foreword by Fred L. Burnside (Former Director, U.S. EPA Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics and Training), EPA's enforcement programs have evolved, and today "the government utilizes a wide range of resources to investigate enforcement matters, including inspectors, criminal investigators, regulatory experts, sampling technicians, chemists, agency enforcement attorneys, and civil and criminal prosecutors. Companies and corporate officials, often finding themselves at the mercy of government personnel and an unpredictable timetable, need their own resources to respond effectively." The EPA Compliance and Enforcement Answer Book provides an essential resource to help level the playing field.

Download or read book Rethinking the Components Coordination and Management of the U S Environmental Protection Agency Laboratories written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applies scientific results that have been provided by various parts of its own organization and by external organizations. The agency requires substantial high-quality inhouse scientific expertise and laboratory capabilities so that it can answer questions related to regulation, enforcement, and environmental effects of specific chemicals, activities, and processes. It is also usually faced with situations in which research or analytic work is time-critical, so it maintains dedicated laboratory staff and facilities that can respond quickly to such needs. In recent years, EPA has made several changes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its laboratories, such as the designation of national program directors to align the work of research laboratories with the needs of the agency's regulatory program offices. The agency is currently undertaking an integrated evaluation of it laboratories to enhance the management effectiveness and efficiency of its laboratory enterprise and to enhance its capabilities for research and other laboratory-based scientific and technical activities. The results of EPA's evaluation are expected to include options for colocation and consolidation of laboratory facilities. Rethinking the Components, Coordination, and Management of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Laboratories assesses EPA's highest-priority needs for mission-relevant laboratory science and technical support, develops principles for the efficient and effective management of EPA's laboratory enterprise to meet the agency's mission needs and strategic goals, and develops guidance for enhancing efficiency and effectiveness now and during the next 10 years. EPA's laboratories play a vital role in the agency's work. The findings and recommendations of this report will help EPA to develop an implementation plan for the laboratory enterprise.

Download or read book Science and Decisions written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-24 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk assessment has become a dominant public policy tool for making choices, based on limited resources, to protect public health and the environment. It has been instrumental to the mission of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as other federal agencies in evaluating public health concerns, informing regulatory and technological decisions, prioritizing research needs and funding, and in developing approaches for cost-benefit analysis. However, risk assessment is at a crossroads. Despite advances in the field, risk assessment faces a number of significant challenges including lengthy delays in making complex decisions; lack of data leading to significant uncertainty in risk assessments; and many chemicals in the marketplace that have not been evaluated and emerging agents requiring assessment. Science and Decisions makes practical scientific and technical recommendations to address these challenges. This book is a complement to the widely used 1983 National Academies book, Risk Assessment in the Federal Government (also known as the Red Book). The earlier book established a framework for the concepts and conduct of risk assessment that has been adopted by numerous expert committees, regulatory agencies, and public health institutions. The new book embeds these concepts within a broader framework for risk-based decision-making. Together, these are essential references for those working in the regulatory and public health fields.
