EPA Regions

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) divides the country into 10 regions to manage environmental issues more effectively. Each region has its own office and is responsible for implementing federal environmental laws, addressing local concerns, and collaborating with state and tribal governments. This regional approach allows the EPA to tailor its efforts to the specific environmental challenges and priorities of different areas, such as air and water quality, waste management, and hazardous materials, ensuring a more efficient response to local needs and conditions.
