EPA Enforcement Policy for GOCO Facilities

This enforcement policy is intended as guidance when dealing with private contractor operators at Government-Owned/Contractor-Operated (GOCO) Facilities. The policy defines GOCOs and the possible landlord/tenant and lessor/lessee arrangements and explains that EPA will exercise its discretion in pursuing enforcement against the responsible party, whether it be the federal agency, the contractor-operator, or both. Issued Jan. 7, 1994
