Environmental Appeals Board
| The Environmental Appeals Board (“EAB” or “the Board”) is an impartial appellate tribunal established by regulation to hear administrative appeals under the major environmental statutes that EPA administers. The EPA Administrator has delegated to the Board the authority to hear these appeals. The Board is independent of all Agency components outside the immediate office of the Office of the Administrator. The Board’s caseload consists primarily of appeals from federal permitting decisions and administrative civil penalty decisions as well as petitions for reimbursement of costs incurred in complying with cleanup orders issued under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.
