Project 2025 Chap13 EPA

This document, "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," outlines a detailed plan for reforming the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The authors, advocating for a "conservative" EPA, argue that the agency has become overly bureaucratic, driven by political agendas, and unresponsive to the needs of local communities. They propose a significant restructuring of the EPA, emphasizing a more cooperative federalist approach with a greater focus on state leadership, measurable progress, and streamlined processes. The document includes detailed recommendations for each EPA office, including the Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Water, Office of Land and Emergency Management, and Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, as well as a proposed budget and personnel restructuring. The document concludes by arguing that a more conservative EPA would achieve tangible environmental improvements while simultaneously promoting economic development and job creation.
