Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was formed in 1970 to protect human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. While one of its many responsibilities includes managing the storage of hazardous waste, it is not the EPA's sole focus.
