The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) administers state laws and regulations aimed at preventing pollution, protecting natural resources, promoting safe disposal and recycling of wastes, and ensuring timely cleanup of contamination. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers similar federal laws and regulations, but delegates much of its enforcement authority to MassDEP.
