Publications
EPA publishes a variety of information for use by the public. This information may include guidance documents, rules and regulations, fact sheets about rules, regulations and programs, videotapes, newsletters, posters, brochures, and pamphlets. Information published by the Office of Water can be ordered using the Water Publications Database or using the other methods listed below.
The Office of Water distributes documents (at no charge to you) through two different Centers: the Water Resource Center (WRC) and the National Service Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP). Orders for items which the WRC may not have available in stock may be forwarded to NSCEP if copies for distribution are available there.
