The EPA has developed a coordinated and integrated approach to identify environmental violations across all media. The Multimedia Enforcement Division directs EPA's national multimedia enforcement programs and promotes these programs at the regional and state level. The Division is staffed to provide both legal and technical support for enforcement activities, develop and prosecute enforcement actions, resolve multimedia/multi-facility disclosures of violations, and serve as an information clearinghouse on multimedia enforcement issues. The Division also develops and implements guidance documents on multimedia issues.
