EPA at 30
Top Environmental Stories, 1970-2000
The end of the year 2000 marks an important passage for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: No longer a youth, the agency turns 30. To mark this anniversary, EPA's Pacific Southwest regional office has compiled the timeline below showing our choices of 30 of the top national environmental news stories of the past 30 years, and 30 of the top regional stories.
These stories were selected in part through a canvass of EPA employees in the region. Obviously, there are dozens of other important regional and national stories. More of the national stories have been posted on EPA's national Web site, at http://www.epa.gov/history/timeline/.
Our timeline of stories can be viewed by decade:
