EPA Seeks Public Input on National Enforcement Priorities Through Online Forum
Tuesday, September 01, 2009-- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has launched an online discussion forum to receive public input on the future priorities for EPA's national enforcement program. The public will be able to provide feedback through the EPA Web site until December 1, giving them a forum to submit ideas for EPA to consider for new areas of enforcement focus. All ideas will be evaluated and considered for recommendation to the EPA administrator about the future direction of EPA's national enforcement and compliance priorities. The current enforcement priorities through 2010 focus on significant environmental problems, including pollution from stormwater runoff, air toxics, concentrated animal feeding operations, and mineral processing.
