EPA National Enforcement Initiative

Andy Emerson of Holland and Knight LLP talks with Andrew Stewart of Vinson and Elkins LLP about the US EPA's recent announcement of new National Enforcement Initiatives for FY 2017–2019. Despite a declining resource base, the Agency has expanded the sectors and industrial activities that will receive priority national enforcement attention. EPA civil and criminal enforcement offices will dedicate focused resources toward the industrial activities covered by these NEIs as part of a nationwide program aimed at noncomplying facilities.
