  • EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin Reshapes Agency with Major Restructuring and Environmental Initiatives

    EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin Reshapes Agency with Major Restructuring and Environmental Initiatives
    2025/05/13
    EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has been at the center of significant agency restructuring efforts in recent days. On May 2, 2025, Zeldin announced a major reorganization affecting approximately one-third of the EPA's workforce across four program offices: air, administrators, chemicals, and water. This restructuring appears to be just the beginning, as another round of organizational changes is expected as early as next week, potentially impacting the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.

    The reorganization includes the creation of a first-of-its-kind Office of State Air Partnerships within the Office of Air and Radiation, focused on working collaboratively with state, local, and tribal air permitting agencies. Zeldin is also establishing an Office of Clean Air program to align statutory obligations and mission-essential functions to enhance transparency in regulatory development.

    In addition to these changes, the EPA will add more than 130 new employees specifically tasked with addressing the backlog of new chemicals and pesticides awaiting review. The agency is also creating a new Office of Applied Science and Environmental Solutions to prioritize research and incorporate science into the agency's rule-makings and technical assistance to states.

    On April 28, Zeldin announced major actions to combat Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contamination. These initiatives include designating an agency lead for PFAS, creating effluent limitations guidelines to prevent these "forever chemicals" from entering drinking water systems, and working with Congress and industry to establish a liability framework ensuring polluters pay while protecting passive receivers.

    Zeldin's approach to leadership at the EPA reflects the Trump administration's environmental policy direction. He recently published an op-ed in The Hill rejecting what he calls "the false choice between environmental stewardship and economic prosperity." Zeldin has emphasized that under his leadership, the EPA is committed to ensuring America has "the cleanest air, land, and water on the planet while also supporting economic growth."

    To mark the first 100 days of the Trump administration, Zeldin released a list of 100 environmental actions taken by the agency since January 20, 2025. He has framed these initiatives as part of "Powering the Great American Comeback," which includes unleashing American energy, lowering costs for Americans, revitalizing the auto industry, advancing cooperative federalism, and positioning the United States as a leader in AI development.

    Concerns remain about the potential elimination or relocation of key programs addressing climate change, PFAS, and pollution prevention, as the full scope of the reorganization continues to unfold across the agency's various offices and programs.

  • EPA Administrator Zeldin's Radical Restructuring Plan Sparks Alarm over Environmental Protections

    EPA Administrator Zeldin's Radical Restructuring Plan Sparks Alarm over Environmental Protections
    2025/05/11
    In a significant shake-up at the Environmental Protection Agency, Administrator Lee Zeldin has been making headlines with his aggressive reorganization plans that critics say could threaten key climate initiatives and environmental protections.

    Last week, Zeldin unveiled a major restructuring plan that includes the creation of a first-of-its-kind Office of State Air Partnerships within the Office of Air and Radiation. According to Zeldin, this new office will focus on "working with, not against, state, local and tribal air permitting agencies to improve processing of State Implementation Plans and resolving air permitting concerns."

    The reorganization also establishes an Office of Clean Air program and a new Office of Applied Science and Environmental Solutions, which Zeldin claims will "prioritize research and put science at the forefront of the agency's rule makings and technical assistance to states."

    On Friday, May 2, Zeldin joined Vice President J.D. Vance in South Carolina and later visited Georgia for a roundtable with Governor Kemp, local officials, and farmers to discuss U.S. regulations. This visit came as part of what the EPA is calling "100 Monumental Actions in First 100 Days" of the Trump administration.

    Despite Zeldin's claims that these changes will improve the EPA's efficiency, environmental advocates are raising alarms. Reports indicate that Zeldin plans to cut "at least" 65% of the agency's total spending, potentially returning the EPA to Reagan-era staffing levels even as the agency's workload has grown substantially since that time.

    On a more positive note, Zeldin recently announced major EPA actions to combat PFAS contamination, often called "forever chemicals." The initiative includes designating an agency lead for PFAS, creating effluent limitations guidelines to prevent these chemicals from entering drinking water systems, and working with Congress and industry to establish a framework that "ensures the polluter pays and passive receivers are protected."

    Critics, however, including the Environmental Defense Fund, have harshly condemned Zeldin's broader agenda, claiming his plans represent "the greatest increase in pollution in decades" that will lead to "more toxic chemicals, more cancers, more asthma attacks, and more dangers for pregnant women and their children."

    As these changes unfold, the EPA appears to be gaining resources in some areas while losing them in others. The agency's chemicals office is expected to add more than 130 new employees to address the backlog of new chemicals and pesticides awaiting review, even as the overall agency faces potential budget cuts of more than 50% for the fiscal year beginning in October.
