Overview of EPA Authorities for Natural Resource Managers Developing Aquatic Invasive Species Rapid Response and Management Plans.

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed this document as a tool for state, tribal, regional, and local natural resource managers who are preparing or considering the preparation of rapid response action and/or management plans for aquatic invasive species (AIS). The document provides an overview of EPA authorities that might apply to state or local AIS rapid response and control actions. Note that development of new rapid response or control methods and/or new judicial rulings could alter the applicability of the EPA authorities described here and make other EPA authorities relevant.
