EPA released data on its enforcement and compliance assurance results for FY 2001on January 31, 2002, which included record-setting amounts of money violators have committed to environmental cleanups and restoration, and for projects to protect the environment and human health beyond injunctive relief, and to record penalty assessments.
By working in partnership with state and local governments, environmental groups, other organizations, and local citizens, the Agency continued to make great strides toward providing Americans with a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment.
Overall the FY2001 EPA enforcement and compliance efforts had the following results:
- enforcement actions required violators to reduce an estimated 660 million pounds of pollutants and treat and safely manage an estimated 1.84 billion pounds;
- violators being required to invest $4.3 billion in pollution control and cleanup measures—the highest-ever such investment; 222 civil judicial cases were settled and 3,228 administrative orders and field citations issued;
- a vigorous criminal program resulted in prison sentences totaling 256 years—an increase of more than 100 years over FY2000—for criminal violations; such violations also resulted in nearly $95 million in fines and restitution;
- supplemental environmental projects totaled at $89 million—up 60 percent from $55.8 million in FY2000; these involve actions a violator agrees to undertake to protect the environment and human health beyond required injunctive relief in exchange for a penalty reduction; and
- compliance assistance for more than one million individuals and businesses by direct assistance or through Compliance Assistance Centers.
