EPA seeks public input on national enforcement priorities

by Jbs090209f3 — September 7, 2009—The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has launched an online discussion forum to receive public input on the future priorities for EPA’s national enforcement program.

Members of the public will be able to provide feedback through the EPA Web site until December 1, 2009, 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.

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.

For more information on the enforcement priorities or to submit suggestions for potential priorities, visit the EPA Web site.
