We focus EPA's resources on solving environmental problems. Our office leverages Regional and local resources to bring about responsible community environmental decision-making in the fifteen-county Northeast Ohio area. We work with Region 5 Program Offices to provide direct program implementation in Northeast Ohio and throughout Region 5.

Programs

We work in three EPA programs:

Emergency Response

On-scene coordinators coordinate and solve hazardous waste spill issues

Brownfields and Early Action

Resources Management Division (RMD)

The Agency recognizes that we have much to do to ensure that communities directly impacted by environmental degradation have not only a voice, but also a seat at the decision-making table.

RMD staff continually expands the conversation on environmentalism
RMD staff wants to do their part to share knowledge and experience
make resources available when they will be useful to meeting environmental goals
strengthen work in the Northeast Ohio community

Three core principles that must inform everything we do are:

science must be the determining factor in EPA decision making
adherence to the rule of law
operating with unparalleled transparency
