Federal Facilities Enforcement Act

The Federal Facilities Enforcement Act is a law that authorizes the EPA to enforce environmental regulations at federal facilities, such as military bases and government buildings. It allows the EPA to ensure these federal sites comply with laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, and to take necessary actions, including fines or clean-up orders, if violations occur. This law helps extend environmental protections to government operations, fostering accountability and safeguarding public health and the environment from pollution and hazards originating from federal facilities.
