OFFICE OF
INSPECTOR GENERAL
January 14, 2009
The Honorable Norman Dicks
Chairman
Subcommittee on Interior, Environment
and Related Agencies
Committee on Appropriations
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Chairman:
On July 14, 2008, we met with your staff to discuss the Office of Inspector General's Key
Management Challenges for Fiscal Year 2008. During this meeting, your staff requested that we
provide additional information on the staffing levels, rental/lease fees, and utility and security
costs for all of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) facilities and/or locations
where EPA incurs costs associated with its employees. For those offices that house five or fewer
employees, we were also asked to provide the purpose of the facility.
Enclosed is the information we obtained from EPA. Enclosure 1 includes the staffing
levels and costs associated for all EPA facilities. Enclosure 2 includes information pertaining to
the costs and purpose of facilities that house five or fewer EPA employees. We have not
independently validated the accuracy of the data provided.
We appreciate your interest in our work. Should you or your staff have any questions on
this or any other matter, please contact Eileen McMahon, Assistant Inspector General for
Congressional, Public Affairs and Management, at (202) 566-2391.
Sincerely,
Bill A. Roderick
Deputy Inspector General

N/A
Section 1 1 9 of the Clean Water Act states
that the Administrator "shall establish an
office to be located on or near Long Island
Sound." The duties of the office are
elaborated on in Section 1 19 (c) and include
supporting the Management Conference of
the Long Island Sound Study established
under Section 320 of the Clean Water Act.
The program office works with Management
Conference partners throughout New York
and Connecticut and needs to be accessible
to these local partners. In addition, while
two EPA employees are located in the
office, two other federal employees
established through interagency agreements
and one Senior Environmental Employment
program staff are also located in the office.

This field office was created to serve the
residents and stakeholders of western New
York, which includes the expanse from
Syracuse to Buffalo and communities in nine
upstate counties. This office provides a wide
range of critical community involvement, and
intergovernmental and communications
programs to a variety of diverse
communities. EPA program areas covered
include: clean water and the Great Lakes,
international cooperative initiatives, and
hazardous waste. The on-site presence of
EPA experts is essential to the success of
EPA activities west of Syracuse as well as
cross-border initiatives. Region 2 has
out-posted an On-Scene Coordinator (OSC)
to Buffalo to support emergency response
and removal response activities in western
New York. This OSC has a variety of roles,
including responding to environmental
emergencies in this region, managing
environmental clean-ups, and acting as a
liaison with State and local environmental,
public health, and law enforcement officials.
Given the amount of work in this area, it is
critical to out-post an individual in this
location.

The vast size of the Hudson River PCS site
and the scope of the clean-up plan make
this an unusual and highly complex
Superfund site. EPA made many
commitments to the affected communities,
including a commitment to proactively
address community concerns and improve
its community outreach program. An
example of EPA commitment was the
establishment of the Hudson River Field
Office. Staffed by a Director and
Community Involvement Coordinator, this
office houses EPA field headquarters,
provides public information services, and is
a center of project data. There has been
extensive field work performed since the
office was established in 2002. The field
efforts were initiated in the summer of 2002
with a sediment sampling program. More
than 50,000 samples were collected over
the years under that program. In addition,
field personnel have overseen the
construction of a nearby 110 acre, $100M+
sediment processing facility. What has been
called the largest environmental dredging
project will begin next spring. Dredging is
expected to continue through 2015.
It is particularly important to have a local
presence, and central location for
construction oversight and community
involvement for the dredging program. The
Field Office is funded from a site-specific
special account established with funds
recovered from settlements.

In 2007, the Administrator signed a
memorandum of understanding with
Spellman College, a Historically Black
College and University, to further strengthen
coordination and cooperation between the
parties in several areas. In furtherance of
the goals of that memorandum of
understanding, Region 4 detailed an
employee to work with Spellman faculty,
staff, and students on several initiatives,
including an environmental policy
curriculum, environmental projects, and a
fall 2008 environmental conference. The
employee also co-teaches three classes.
As part of an Interagency Agreement
between EPA Region 9 and Hawaii, this
Region 4 employee competed nationally and
obtained a developmental assignment to the
State's non-point source and watershed

gained will ultimately improve EPA's ability
to work with States to achieve positive
improvements in water quality on the local
watershed scale.

Region 5 has established out-stationed
offices to better serve and support local
emergency responders in the event of a
hazmat, oil, major terrorist attack, or other
catastrophe. Out-stationed offices have
increased service to the States, improved
response readiness and coordination of
multi-jurisdiction response efforts, and
advanced the removal program through
awareness, reduction in response times,
and outreach with State and local
responders. After September 1 1 , 2001 , it
became apparent that having key personnel
in more than one station would prevent
shutdowns that would occur if everyone was
stationed at the same location. Having
personnel in various locations would ensure
that there would always be one area that
would be functional and accessible in any
national disaster. Prior to 9/1 1 , Region 5
was almost the only region with out-
stationed offices; today most regions have
them. Currently Region 5 Emergency

Reason Provided by Agency for
Maintaining EPA Staff at Location
Having staff in the State capital allows
frequent personal communication at a senior
level with State agencies and facilitates
early resolution and prevention of problems
before they become serious. The benefits
associated with this close proximity to work
are: (1) face-to-face real-time interactions
between the field office and State improve
communication, maximize efficiency, and
facilitate effective program results; (2)
emergencies and spills are responded to
much more quickly, especially in Alaska and
Idaho, where emergency response from
Seattle is just not feasible; (3) understanding
of developing State legislative issues and
other State-specific knowledge improve the
effectiveness of the Region; (4) partnerships
with other federal agencies also located in
nearby offices facilitate coordination on
related issues; and (5) Performance
Partnership Agreement negotiations are
easier.

Reason Provided by Agency for
Maintaining EPA Staff at Location
The Coeur d'Alene Basin Superfund clean-
up project is a regional priority and, because
most of the parties responsible for the
contamination are bankrupt, EPA is in the
lead for most of the work. The clean-up is
expected to cost more than $2 billion and
take approximately 40 years to complete.
Maintaining an on-the-ground presence with
EPA staff stationed in Coeur d'Alene Basin
allows EPA to better respond to community
issues, coordinate with the stakeholders,
and oversee clean-up work. EPA also has
an emergency responder stationed in Coeur
d'Alene who has proven to be invaluable in
building a stronger relationship with Idaho,
as well as local responders, and also
providing faster response times to incidents
in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.
This area is rich in abandoned mines and,
due to its remoteness and numerous
roadways along river corridors, a significant
number of transportation and other types of
emergency responses. Finally, the Office of
Water and Watersheds has one staff person
stationed in the Coeur d'Alene field office
and has seen real benefits because of the
very intensive work they are responsible for
in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area:
development of the Lake Management Plan,
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System permitting for Spokane River
dischargers, the Total Maximum Daily Load
for the Spokane River; and more. These
activities require intensive interaction with
local and State officials in the Spokane-
Coeur d'Alene area, and EPA's success is
partly a function of that interaction.
