The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
welcomes you to its Visitors Center in Wash-
ington, D. C.
The Center offers you an opportunity to:
learn what the Federal government,
through EPA, is doing to protect and to
restore the environment, and to
discover how you—as an individual or as
a member of a group-can join in the
effort to clean up the environment.
EPA
is a Federal regulatory
agency established December 2,
1970. This action brought to-
gether, for the first time in a
single agency, the major environ-
mental control programs of the
Federal government.
EPA was directed to mount an
integrated, coordinated attack
on environmental problems-air
and water pollution control,
management of solid waste,
control of noise, and protection
against radiation and abuses in
pesticide use.
EPA is responsible for establish-
ing and enforcing standards
called for in the various pollution
control laws passed by Congress
to carry out its authorities.
EPA cooperates with each of the
50 States to identify and solve
pollution problems. EPA works
through ten Regional Offices and
is supported by four National
Environmental Research Centers
and nearly three dozen satellite
laboratories.
EPA's total role is expressed by
Administrator Russell E. Train:
"EPA has a clear mandate to
carry out the environmental
statutes enacted by Congress
In addition, I believe that EPA
has a broader responsibility to
help define, articulate and give
leadership to the environmental
aspirations of our society."
