Compliance Assistance Centers

Compliance Assistance Centers help businesses, colleges and universities, local governments, tribes and federal facilities understand and comply with environmental requirements and save money through pollution prevention techniques. 

The Compliance Assistance Centers offer easy access to plain-language materials and other resources on environmental compliance through:

• websites targeted to industry and government sectors
• virtual plant tours
• telephone assistance
• "ask the expert"
• email discussion groups
• Next Generation Compliance
• State Resource Locators  that offer state-specific environmental compliance information for a wide range of topics.

Most Compliance Assistance Centers are funded by EPA through cooperative agreements.
