Environmental compliance has been a major responsibility at many organizations since the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created in 1970. The EPA's goal is to assure a safe and healthful environment for the people of America. The Agency has spawned many regulations, with the result that environmental compliance has become very complex and challenging.
To facilitate implementation of environmental laws and regulations, EPA delegates much of the enforcement responsibility to its 10 regional offices. Each state has been assigned to a specific region. In almost all cases, the EPA permits state agencies to implement their own regulations, as long as the state's regulations are at least as stringent as the federal rules.
