 Environmental Information

   You have an environmental concern or emergency and don't know what to do? Look In Your Telephone
 Book! Consult your telephone book (under the name of your city or county) for the local agency/office
 responsible for environmental concerns. Many cities have a citizen's complaint bureau or ombudsman who will
 give you assistance or direct you to the right place. You may also wish to contact your local county council or
 county commissioners, mayor, or members of the city council.

   States and local governments may have environmental requirements more stringent or covering more issues
 than the federal laws (i.e., many cities have local noise ordinances that are more restrictive than federal law).


 Environmental Emergencies

   Fire departments should be notified of any hazardous spill or accident.  Many fire departments have staff
 trained in identifying and handling toxic/hazardous materials.  Fire departments are usually close to the scene
 and therefore able to respond quickly and notify the other appropriate authorities.

   The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also has an emergency response telephone number (206
 442-1263) which is a 24-hour number for reporting oil spills, hazardous material spills, etc.  In reporting or
 requesting assistance, clearly give your name, address, telephone number, location of the spill/hazard, and
 probable source of the material. Providing as much information as possible assists in a prompt response.

              The States and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency


  National environmental laws require close coordination and cooperation between states and the federal
government in establishing environmental standards, planning environmental programs as well as enforcing
environmental laws and regulations.

  Region 10 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is unique in having satellite EPA operations offices
located with state agencies to facilitate state-federal requirements and provide information to the public.

  Region 10 includes Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Other U.S. EPA Regions are listed
on page 30.
