^tDsrx U.S. EPA Region g Enforcement In Indian Country Update July 2015 About the Enforcement Division The Region's multi-media Enforcement Division was established on February 11, 2013 after two years of extensive internal evaluation and organizational restructuring to consolidate most of the region's civil enforcement responsibilities under federal air, water, waste, pesticides, and toxics laws. EPA works with local, state, and tribal governments and other federal agencies to achieve compliance with our nation's environmental laws through enforcement actions and compliance assistance efforts. The Enforcement Division is home to the Environmental Review Office, which has a unique role in the National Environmental Policy Act review process. Under Section 309 of the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to independently review and publicly comment on all Environmental Impact Statements proposed by otherfederal agencies. The Enforcement Division is also responsible for regional integration of environmental justice. The Division's top enforcement priorities are to achieve high rates of environmental compliance, and to target administrative and judicial cases strategically through collaboration with states, tribes, and local governments, as well as with the U.S. Department of Justice. In tribal and Pacific Island territories, EPA is responsible for directly enforcing most federal environmental laws.
