Next Generation Compliance

Next Generation Compliance uses new tools, approaches and technology to strengthen enforcement of environmental laws. Promotion and use of advanced technology can help regulated entities, government and the public more easily monitor pollutant discharges, environmental conditions and noncompliance. 

Next Generation Compliance


Technology Transfer Network

The Technology Transfer Network (TTN) is a collection of technical web sites containing information about many areas of air pollution science, technology, regulation, measurement and prevention.

  • U.S.-Mexico Border Information Center on Air Pollution (CICA) Technical Resources

Water Science and Technology

EPA's Office of Water helps ensure the latest water pollution science and best available control technologies support our program goals to keep water safe and clean.

  • Monitoring and Assessing Water Quality
  • Wastewater Treatment

Community Monitoring

Low-cost environmental sensors are making it easier for everyday individuals to monitor their local environment and take part in participatory science. Outreach, tools and opportunities to learn more about available low-cost sensors are key to educating everyone about the information now available.
