(Seattle – Feb. 5, 2015) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, completed over 60 environmental compliance and enforcement actions in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington from July 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014.

Violations of environmental laws put public health and the environment at risk. EPA enforces federal environmental laws to protect communities and to keep the region’s air, land, and water healthy. These compliance and enforcement efforts also level the playing field by deterring violators who might otherwise have an unfair business advantage over environmentally compliant facilities and businesses.

From July 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014, EPA Region 10 completed the following environmental enforcement actions:
