What is EPA doing to help keep school children safe?

EPA's asbestos program for schools, mandated by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), and its regulations for schools and other buildings is founded on the principle of "in-place" management of asbestos-containing material (ACM). This approach is designed to prevent asbestos exposure by teaching people to recognize asbestos-containing materials and actively monitor and, where necessary, manage them in lace. Removal of ACM is not usually necessary unless the material is severely damaged or will be disturbed by a building demolition or renovation project

How and when was the EPA created?
According to the publication "The Guardian: Origins of the EPA," President Nixon declared his intention to establish the Environmental Protection Agency with Reorganization Plan Number 3, dated July 9, 1970. The EPA's mission would include:
 
"The establishment and enforcement of environmental protection standards consistent with national environmental goals... The conduct of research on the adverse effects of pollution and on methods and equipment for controlling it; the gathering of information on pollution; and the use of this information in strengthening environmental protection programs and recommending policy changes... assisting others, through grants, technical assistance and other means, in arresting pollution of the environment... assisting the Council on Environmental Quality in developing and recommending to the President new policies for the protection of the environment."
After being cleared through hearings in the Senate and House of Representatives, the EPA came into being on December 2, 1970.
You can obtain a copy of this publication free-of-charge by calling the National Service Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP, formerly NCEPI) at 1-800-490-9198. There is also another title called "Guardian: EPA's Formative years, 1970-73" that you can get at NSCEP. To place your order, call NSCEP at the above 1-800 number and give them the title with the report number:
Guardian: Origins of the EPA (report# EPA 202 K92 004)
Guardian: EPA's Formative years, 1970-73 (report# EPA 202 K93 002)

How can I order EPA publications?

To order publications, call NSCEP toll-free at 1-800-490-9198. To search a catalog of EPA publications, and for further information about EPA publications, visit NSCEP's web site.

How can I locate the phone numbers and mailing addresses of EPA staff people?
EPA's automated National People Locator contains the telephone numbers of most EPA employees and associated contractors. You can search the locator by the name of the employee. The main mailing address for EPA is:
Environmental Protection Agency
401 M St, SW
Washington, DC 20460
To send a letter to a certain person, you would need to add their name, and the appropriate mail code (listed in the National People Locator) for the employee's office to the above address.
There is also a list of mailing addresses for EPA's regional offices.

How do I report a violation of environmental regulations?
State and local governments have responsibility for enforcing most environmental laws in the area where you live. You can locate these government offices through your telephone directory. In most communities, the responsible agency is the city or county health department. At the state level, an environmental agency carries out the pollution control laws, whereas an agriculture agency often handles regulation of pesticides. If these sources can't help you, contact your regional EPA office.

How do EPA's rules and policies affect small business?
EPA has many assistance programs for small business and provides information with the small business entrepreneur in mind. The Small Business Gateway offers complete information about regulations and policies that relate to small business.

When did the Agency begin?
EPA was established as an independent agency on December 2, 1970. Its first Agency Administrator, William D. Ruckelshaus, was sworn in on December 4, 1970

U.S. environmental laws (see Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) additionally describe a "hazardous waste" as a waste (usually a solid waste) that has the potential to
cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality (death) or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible illness; or
pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise manag

Risk Management Program
Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires covered facilities (referred to as stationary sources) to develop risk management programs to prevent accidental releases of dangerous chemicals. Covered stationary sources are those that have certain regulated substances present in excess of applicable thresholds. Each covered stationary source must prepare and implement a risk management program and maintain documentation of the program on site in the form of a risk management plan (RMP). The risk management program will include an analysis of the potential offsite consequences of an accidental release, a five-year accident history, a prevention program, and an emergency response program.

Facilities are required to submit RMPs to EPA. RMPs will be available to state and local governments and citizens to help them understand potential local chemical hazards and take steps to prevent accidents. The risk management program regulations are administered by EPA's Office of Emergency Management (OEM).


RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM COMPLIANCE
Course consists of three parts. Part one will provide you with a general overview of the EPA Risk Management Program Rule and Requirements.
Overview of the EPA Risk Management Program Rule
  • EPA Risk Management Program Internal Compliance Auditing
  • Maintaining Compliance with the EPA Risk Management Program Requirements
In Part two, using the EPA’s Risk Management Program inspection checklist, we will cover each of the requirements and clarify exactly what you need to do and document to meet EPA requirements and how to be prepared for a state or EPA inspection. Part three will provide with important tips and resources for achieving and maintaining compliance with the many Risk Management Program requirements.
