Environmental Regulation and Cleanup

These pages are useful for finding information about environmental cleanup programs, climate change, and environmental justice.

Federal laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) help govern the process of environmental cleanup. Idaho has its own laws such as the Idaho Placer and Dredge Mining Protection Act and the Idaho Administrative Procedures Act (IDAPA).

The U.S. Department of Energy website provides clear summaries of many federal environmental laws. In addition, laws and their updates are available on GovInfo. In addition, you can track new legislation at www.congress.gov, and provide feedback on regulations at Regulations.gov
