Kelley Drye Legal DownloadEnvironmental Auditing and Penalty Mitigation: Leveraging EPA’s Audit Policy Under the Trump AdminThe Trump Administration’s U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is shifting its enforcement approach from aggressive actions to more cooperative mechanisms, such as compliance assistance programs and voluntary self-disclosure. For regulated industries such as manufacturing, heavy industry, and mineral extraction, this creates an opportunity to strengthen compliance while reducing enforcement risk.
EPA’s long-standing Audit Policy offers significant benefits, ranging from elimination or reduction of civil penalties to tailored incentives for new owners and clearer correction timelines. Successfully leveraging the policy, however, requires careful planning, strategic decisions on disclosure, and an understanding of potential risks.
