 Mission: The mission of the Environmental Protection Agency is to protect human health and the environment. Since 1970, EPA
 has been working for a cleaner, healthier environment for the American people. View the Agency's Strategic Plan at:
 (http://www.epa.gov/ocfo/plan/plan.htm)

 Organization: The Agency's mission is carried out by 14 headquarters offices in Washington, DC, 10 regional offices, and more
 than a dozen labs. For more information visit:(http://www.epa.gov/epahome/organization.htm)

 Personnel: EPA employs approximately 17,000 people  across the country. Staff are highly educated and technically trained;
 more than half are engineers, scientists, and policy analysts. In addition, a large number of employees are legal, public affairs,
 financial, information management and computer specialists. For more information, visit:(http://www.epa.gov/careers/)

 Budgetary Resources: The budgetary resources for FY 2008 totaled $7.472 billion or $25 per person.

                                         Performance Snapshot
 Accomplishments: In 2008, the Agency set stringent new standards for a significant number of air pollutants or pollution
 sources; proposed a new regulation to allow for the underground storage of greenhouse gases in a manner that protects ground
 water sources of drinking water; ensured that 96 percent of hazardous waste facilities are permitted and 66 percent of the
 nation's underground storage tanks are in compliance; completed a thorough reassessment of all food pesticides, setting the most
 health  protective standards in the world for pesticides and food safety; and took enforcement actions to secure commitments
 from polluters to spend an estimated $11.8 billion on pollution control activities.

 Challenges: EPA faced several challenges in 2008 including improving data collection for performance measures, improving
 efficiency of operations, ensuring consistent application of standards, meeting Homeland Security requirements, and working with
 partners to address infrastructure concerns. For example,  approximately 160,000  public drinking water systems provide the
 nation  with drinking water, and 16,000 facilities treat and  dispose of wastewater. Many of the country's water infrastructure
 systems are aging and need repairs or upgrades to meet various requirements of the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water
 Act. EPA and its federal, state, and local partners face a significant challenge in  developing a national strategy for addressing this
 issue and resolving the problem of aging and deteriorating water infrastructure  to  protect public health and the environment.

This will take you to the current results list. If you have changed your search terms using the "Search in document" feature, your results list may be different than the one that got you here!

The NEPIS system will provide the current document packaged as a Multipage TIFF in a new window. This format can be useful if you have Microsoft's document imaging, as that application can OCR the document delivered, making it searchable without using the NEPIS system.

The NEPIS system will provide the current document packaged as a PDF in a new window. Some PDFs are documents that were created in that format, others were created from the scanned images you see displayed online. Of this later type, some have been created in advance to expedite delivery, others are created at the time they are requested. If the one you request fits this last category, please be patient, as it may take several minutes for our servers to collect, package, format, and deliver the resulting document. The larger the document (either because of a large number of pages or color content) the longer the delivery time.

The NEPIS system will provide the full text of the document as seen by our OCR engine. Sometimes useful if you wish to access the text for 'cut and paste' references.
