Welcome to EPA's Conflict Prevention and Resolution Center
The CPRC is the EPA's primary resource for consensus building, conflict prevention, and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
Experience within EPA and elsewhere
shows that these techniques for preventing and resolving conflicts can
have many benefits including:
- Faster resolution of issues;
- More creative, satisfying and enduring solutions;
- Reduced transaction costs;
- Improved working relationships; and
- Increased stakeholder support for Agency programs.
Please use the links on the left to learn more about us and the services we offer to all EPA Headquarters Offices, Regions, external stakeholders (e.g., state agencies, industry, environmental advocacy groups), and EPA managers and staff.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our web site! We plan to update this site frequently; please let us know how we can make it more useful to you.
Facilitator Finder Tool and Stakeholder Input Organizer Tool (EPA Only) - The facilitator finder tool and stakeholder input organizer tool allow EPA employees to check the cost of getting a professional facilitator or mediator for your project and think about the goals of your stakeholder process.
