Environmental Protection Agency

The EPA implements the federal laws designed to promote public health by protecting our Nation's air, water, and soil from harmful pollution. The EPA endeavors to accomplish its mission systematically by proper integration of a variety of research, monitoring, standard-setting, and enforcement activities.

The EPA library network is divided into 10 regions and several service libraries. Some of these documents are distributed through the government depository libraries and some are sent to National Technical Information Service. Montana EPA documents are collected in the EPA library in Helena. This office distributes its publications to Montana Tech Library on microfilm reels (located in drawers in the middle of first floor) and some local research publications in paper copy (located on shelves in the middle of second floor).

EPA Publications include the Environmental Protection Agency's National Service Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP) with over 5,000 agency publications in an array of environmental subjects that are accessible through an on-line catalog.
