EPA Compliance Guidelines for Small Business

Many small business owners find the process of wading through the various rules and regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be a

time-consuming and sometimes overwhelming process. Yet as a small business owner it is crucial that you comply with the EPA's mandates.

Fortunately, there are now numerous services and resources in place to provide ongoing assistance to small businesses, including various EPA-sponsored Compliance Assistance Centers (for various industries), as well as Compliance Advisory Panels.

Compliance Assistance Centers
The government has set up different Compliance Assistance Centers to aid small business owners in understanding and complying with the regulations that pertain to their specific industry. These EPA-sponsored centers supply information through Internet sites, e-mail discussion groups, telephone assistance lines, and fax-back systems.
