Report possible violations of environmental laws and regulations.
In addition to the EPA Headquarters office in Washington, DC, EPA maintains 10 regional offices to implement federal environmental programs around the country. These regional offices coordinate with federal, state, interstate and local agencies. The regions also coordinate with industry, academia and other private groups. This ensures that their regions' needs are addressed and that federal environmental laws are upheld.
Each region has a designated PCB Coordinator to oversee proper management of PCB issues within the regions. These coordinators are often the best points of contacts for questions on PCB cleanup, disposal, ship disposal and use issues.
