Federal Facilities Get Compliance Report Card
EarthVision Environmental News 

 05/01/00 

 WASHINGTON, May 1, 2000 - A report on the environmental compliance record
of federal government facilities throughout the United States has been
published and is available to the public. The US Environmental Protection
Agency's The State of Federal Facilities: An Overview of Environmental
Compliance at Federal Facilities, FY 1997-98 report provides a breakdown of
compliance rates at federal facilities regulated by environmental laws. It
shows, for example, that from FY 1993 to FY 1998, hazardous waste
compliance increased by about 33 percent, while Clean Water Act compliance
exhibits a steady decline, from 94.2 percent to 61.5 percent. Safe Drinking
Water Act compliance fluctuated but remained high (above 90 percent), as
did Clean Air Act compliance (between 84 and 90 percent). After a low in FY
1994, Toxic Substances and Control Act (TSCA) compliance rebounded and has
remained at 100 percent for the past four years. 

The report also compares compliance at federal facilities to private sector
facilities and is available at: http://es.epa.gov/oeca/fedfac/soff9798.pdf
or by calling the National Service Center for Environmental Publications at
 1-800-490-9198.
