Pursuit's Take
Through GAO’s work, they have made numerous recommendations to EPA about its management and operations, as well as its programs related to water issues; environmental contamination and cleanup; toxics, chemical safety, and pesticides; public health and environmental justice; and air quality, climate change, and energy efficiency.
GAO testified that, as of August 23, 2017, EPA had implemented 191 of 318 recommendations GAO made since 2007. Most of the unimplemented recommendations concern management and operations and water issues. For example, EPA has not fully implemented our recommendation to link its workforce plan to its strategic plan.
