The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

The RCRA ground-water monitoring technical enforcement guidance document (TEGD), describes what the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) deems to be the essential components of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) ground-water monitoring system. The purpose of ground-water quality monitoring is to determine whether pollutants from a hazardous waste facility are entering the ground water, and if so, at what direction and rate the contaminant is moving. The quidance is intended to be used by trained professional enforcement officials, permit writers, field inspectors, and attorneys at the Federal and state levels. It is intended to assist them in making informed decisions regarding the adequacy of existing or proposed ground-water monitoring systems or modifications thereto. It is not a regulation and should not be used as such. The expected benefits from the TEGD are to promote national consistancy for RCRA; assist in decisionmaking, provide guidance and focus, improve communications, and increase the efficiency of the regulatory process. The TEGD is divided into six chapters containing discussions on: Characterization of site hydrogeology; Placement of detection monitoring wells; Monitoring well design and construction; Sampling and analysis; Statistical analysis of detection monitoring data; Assessment monitoring.

The standards set forth in subpart F of the hazardous waste management regulations for permitted facilities requires owners and operators to sample ground water at specific time intervals to determine whether or not hazardous wastes are causing contamination. This manual provides guidance for implementation of the standards and covers such issues as site hydrology, detection monitoring system design, well design and construction, and sampling and analysis.
