In October 1994, EPA established the Border Liaison Office in San Diego, California to support binational efforts that address environmental issues affecting U.S.-Mexico border communities. The mission of the Border Office is to advance the goals and objectives of the binational border environment program with Mexico and to leverage and collaborate with border stakeholders towards this mission.
As part of its mission, the Border Office:
- Coordinates implementation of the binational U.S./Mexico Border Program.
- Coordinates policy and implementation efforts with the Arizona/Sonora and California/Baja California Regional Workgroups and Task Forces
- Provides support to the Border 2020 Task Forces (currently there are 10 Task Forces)
- Facilitates dialogue and resolution of issues affecting border communities
- Coordinates a Border Project Funding Program
- Provides timely and accurate information to border stakeholders
- Maintains a repository of documents on U.S.-Mexico border issues
- Makes presentations and serves on border issues panels
