EPA SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT ON NATIONAL ENFORCEMENT PRIORITIES THROUGH ONLINE FORUM

EPA has launched an online discussion forum for public input on the future priorities for EPA's national enforcement program. The public will be able to provide feedback through the EPA Web site until Dec. 1, as a forum to submit ideas for EPA to consider as a focus for new areas of enforcement. All ideas will be evaluated and considered for recommendation to the EPA administrator about the future direction of EPA's national enforcement and compliance priorities. 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. To submit suggestions for potential priorities, go to http://blog.epa.gov/enforcementnationalpriority/ For information on the enforcement priorities, go to http://www.epa.gov/compliance/data/planning/priorities/index.html
