Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the federal agency responsible for implementing and monitoring federal legislation concerning the environment, such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. OSHA is responsible for workplace safety regulations, the Supreme Court interprets laws and resolves legal disputes, and state health departments may have some role in enforcing environmental regulations within their state, but none of these entities would be the primary agency responsible for enforcing federal environmental laws.
