Safer, Clear Environment through Compliance Assistance

摘要

Compared to larger institutions, many small businesses simply lack the resourcesor expertise to gain a full understanding of what environmental regulations actually require. To help them overcome this challenge and improve environmental performance, EPA is establishing compliance assistance centers for certain key sectors with large numbers of small businesses. Through partnerships with industry, academic institutions, environmental groups, and other federal and state agencies, these centers serve as a single source of comprehensive, easy to understand information on regulatory requirements, pollution prevention and technical assistance opportunities.
