Environmental Protection Agency Regions

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) divides the United States into ten regional offices, called Regions, to better manage environmental issues locally. Each Region covers specific states or territories, allowing tailored approaches to environmental protection, such as pollution control and cleanup efforts. These Regions coordinate with local governments, businesses, and communities to implement federal policies effectively, ensuring clean air, water, and land across different areas. This regional structure helps the EPA address regional environmental challenges efficiently while maintaining consistent national standards.
