PEER Supports Law Enforcement and Regulation

PEER works to support the enforcement of environmental and natural resource laws at the federal, state and local levels. The need for protection for our natural resources and public health has never been greater. Even as the need for strong environmental and natural resource protection is growing, enforcement programs are facing declining budgets, lower staffing levels, and dispirited morale.

PEER is dedicated to serving law enforcement rangers, agents and other professionals working in our forests, ranges and parklands.

PEER monitors federal, state and local governments to make sure they hold polluters accountable and protect public health and the environment.

Florida Pollution Enforcement Reports

Since 2004, PEER has examined Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) files to assess pollution enforcement. In a state heavily reliant on its natural beauty for tourism revenue, it has fallen far short of acceptable pollution levels primarily in its waterways and wastewater management.

Colorado Air Pollution Crisis

When you think of Colorado, you probably imagine clear, blue skies and sunshinethat image doesn’t jibe with the air quality in much of the state. The state’s entire Front Range remains in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards set by EPA and has been in noncompliance since 2012.
