Potential future collaborations with other EPA Offices include:
‣ Collaboration on Enforcement Issues: The Office of Water is interested in working with
the EPA Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance to identify opportunities to
recognize the impacts of a changing climate on water resources in the context of
compliance and enforcement activities and actions through the use of green
infrastructure, climate resilient approaches, and other measures.
‣ Collaboration on Storm Surge Screening Criteria: The Office of Water is working with
Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 to begin development of initial screening criteria that could be
used to identify water and wastewater facilities that may be at risk from inundation as a
result of a storm surge event comparable to that generated by Hurricane Sandy.
