Water Protection Division Organizational Chart (PDF) (1p, 20K, About PDF)

Everyone Deserves Clean and Safe Water. That's the motto of EPA's Mid Atlantic Water Programs. Working with partners in the Mid Atlantic Region, the water programs are responsible for managing and implementing the laws that protect, preserve, and enhance water resources. The Division administers programs authorized by the Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), laws written by Congress. Along with the administration of programs, we work with the Mid-Atlantic States, local organizations, and interstate basin commissions, overseeing the delegation of programs and state implementation of delegated programs to achieve environmental and public health goals and standards.
