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 citizens' 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 closer to the scene
than any agency would be 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.
Other Environmental Information
Public libraries as well as school and university libraries are excellent sources of environmental
information. The U.S. EPA Regional Library, 1200 Sixth Avenue, M/S 541, Seattle, Washington 98101,
can provide assistance on technical publications, bibliographies, etc. A limited number of EPA brochures
are also available.

Seattle, Washington 98101
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA): Copies of government documents may be requested
through the FOIA process. The written request should clearly identify the document, location of document if
known, date of document, etc. Information on FOIA is available at the following address or by calling the
FOIA Officer at (206) 442-4280.

Environmental FORUMS are hefd in the EPA Region 10 Seattle office usually on the third
Thursday of each month. The public is invited and should check the schedule by telephoning (206)
442-4280.
Presidential Environmental Youth Award applications are available to schools, Scouts,
Campfire, and other youth groups. The awards program encourages local environmental awareness for
youth and their communities. Applications and information is available through telephone requests
(206-442-4280) or by writing to the above address.
Federal Register provides a uniform system for making available to the public regulations and legal
notices issued by federal agencies. Available by subscription or in many public libraries.
EPA's Small Business Ombudsman is available to help small businesses understand and
comply with federal environmental regulations. Toll-free telephone 800-368-588B (when telephoning,
