Contents Notes |
This report contains a directory of resources for persons employed in, or interested in learning more about, the field of environmental compliance and enforcement and related topics. It identifies governmental and non-governmental literature on topics related to compliance assurance, behavior, monitoring, measurement, deterrence, enforcement, environmental management, voluntary environmental programs, environmental performance, the relationship of compliance and performance to business value and competitiveness, and other similar topics. The report is intended to serve as a starting point for persons interested in identifying and reviewing pertinent literature on these topics. All of the referenced documents are in the public domain and were included because they cover topics of potential interest to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), state, tribal, and local agencies, academicians, regulated entities, communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the public. EPA makes no guarantee nor assumes any liability with respect to either the accuracy or use of any of the literature or information cited in this document. The inclusion of literature in this document should not be viewed as an endorsement of these resources by EPA nor should the exclusion of any similar literature, whether deliberate or otherwise, be construed as an EPA opinion on the literature. The literature summaries and highlights provided in this report are not themselves compliance literature and should not be cited or quoted as original sources; rather, persons requiring additional information on, or clarification of, any of the literature described in this report should obtain and review the source materials or consult with the authors directly. This report does not in any way represent EPA guidance nor does it create or explain EPA policy and should not be relied on for any purpose other than as a reference guide to publicly available compliance-related literature. |
