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.

Alternative Dispute Resolution: The Board offers an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program to assist parties in resolving disputes before the Board. The Board’s ADR Program offers parties the option of participating in ADR with the assistance of one of the Board’s Judges acting as a neutral evaluator/mediator. The ADR Program has been successful in assisting the parties in achieving a fast resolution of issues, with satisfying and enduring solutions.

Sharing the Board’s expertise on Environmental Adjudication: The Board also serves as a repository of expertise within the federal government on environmental administrative adjudication. Judges and attorneys on the Board have provided training and shared their expertise on environmental adjudication, both domestically and internationally.
