EPA Delivers an Additional 100 Top Environmental Accomplishments, Including in Region 4, for 300 Environmental Wins Highlighted Since President Trump Took Office in January
ATLANTA, Georgia (Nov. 20, 2025) – On Monday, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin shared 100 additional environmental accomplishments EPA has achieved in the last 100 days, including 10 in the Southeast region, recognizing 300 days of fulfilling the agency’s statutory obligations, and delivering clean air, land and water for all Americans under President Donald Trump's leadership.
“We are thrilled to announce another 100 top accomplishments from the last 100 days in our mission to meet our statutory duties and defend human health and environmental quality,” said EPA Administrator Zeldin. “The Trump EPA is showing that we can be exceptional environmental stewards while Powering the Great American Comeback. 300 days, 300 major environmental wins – this is the energy that propels us forward and the pace that motivates us. We will keep working tirelessly to secure success after success for America's environment and families nationwide.”
“From superfund site cleanups to emergency response, we have worked alongside our state and local partners to make sure the people of Region 4 have the clean air, water and land they deserve,” said Regional Administrator Kevin McOmber. “I am proud of all these environmental wins and excited for how many more wins we intend to deliver in 2026.”
Region 4’s highlighted accomplishments include:
Distributed $86.2 million in supplemental Hurricane Helene recovery funds to support debris removal, management and property reuse evaluation.
Removed 1,815 pounds of contamination at Southern Solvents Superfund Site in Tampa, Florida, and achieved the Remedial Action goal.
Sampled 515 residential properties, remediated 161 properties and disposed of more than 30,000 tons of contaminated material to safeguard residents from lead exposure at the Southside Chattanooga Lead Superfund Site in Tennessee.
Completed a $1.98 million cleanup at Continental Cleaners Superfund Site in Miami, Florida, which protects the Biscayne aquifer, Miami-Dade's sole source of drinking water.
Provided Risk Assessment training to 40 state project managers in Columbia, South Carolina.
Enhanced EPA's partnership with Citrus County, Florida, to advance $1.2 million for the Septic-to-Sewer Program.
Distributed $685 million for recovery in partnership with FEMA and local officials, resulting in 122 pre-application projects in 59 communities for flood risk reduction and resiliency enhancement, as EPA recently marked the first anniversary since the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
Worked to collect more than 630,000 gallons of oil-water mix, stabilize nearby waterways and drinking water sources, and prevent further contamination as part of the UPS Flight 2976 response in Louisville, Kentucky.
Collaborated with Department of Energy (DOE) on the first land lease in the nation under the Hall Amendment for beneficial site redevelopment with lease of 100-acre parcel of Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant Superfund Site.
Completed two-year residential cleanup project addressing PCB-contaminated soil at 56 properties on the Ten Mile Drain Superfund site in Kentucky.
Background: These 100 actions build on Administrator Zeldin’s list of 100 pro-environmental actions taken by the agency during President Trump’s First 100 Days in office and another 100 pro-environmental actions highlighted at the 200-day milestone to total 300 featured accomplishments.
This progress includes announcing a proposed rule today that establishes a clear, durable, common-sense definition of “waters of the United States” (WOTUS), completing 100 days of "pressure testing" Tijuana-San Diego wastewater projects from the July 2025 U.S.-Mexico Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and accelerating timelines by nine months, secured our border from dangerous illegal pesticides through enforcement action, led emergency response efforts and cleanup efforts in communities across the nation and so much more.
This snapshot represents the great work done by the agency on a daily basis, as EPA continues to fulfill its core mission of protecting human health and the environment, while committing to commonsense policies that drive down prices, unleash American energy, advance permitting reform and cooperative federalism, make America the AI capital of the world and revitalize the auto industry.
