Data, Planning and Results You are here: EPA Home Compliance and Enforcement Data, Planning and Results Results and Reports Annual Results FY2002
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today released data on its compliance assurance and enforcement results for Fiscal Year 2002. The results show millions of pounds of harmful pollutants will be reduced, cleaned up, or treated, thousands of acres of wetlands will be restored, and cleaner air, water and soil for the American people. For the first time, EPA is reporting on a wider range of results achieved through its enforcement efforts, including data on groundwater, wetlands, and drinking water.
In addition to estimating the pounds of pollution to be reduced (261 million) and pounds of contaminated soil to be treated (513 million) as it has in previous years, EPA is now measuring gallons of contaminated groundwater to be treated (2.8 billion gallons), acres of wetlands that will be restored (40,000), and the number of people served by drinking water systems that will be brought into compliance (3.15 million) as a result of enforcement activity in FY2002. These measures provide a more thorough and accurate profile of the environmental protection results achieved through EPA's program to enforce the nation's environmental laws. These new measures are important information for the public, and are in keeping with the Administration's emphasis on greater transparency as a tool to achieve compliance.
