The Regional Support Division provide national direction and supports the EPA regional offices in conducting actions to compel private parties to conduct and pay for clean up under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, or commonly referred to as Superfund), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Oil Pollution Act (OPA) and the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program. In some situations, private parties pay for clean ups that have been conducted by EPA using money from the Superfund. Non-cleanup related enforcement under RCRA is the responsibility of our sister organization, the Office of Civil Enforcement.
