Mission: To protect human health and safeguard the environment National Program Offices: Air and Radiation Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Environmental Information General Counsel International and Tribal Affairs Land and Emergency Management Water Research and Development EPA Office of Research and Development - National Research Programs Air, Climate & Energy Chemical Safety for Sustainability Sustainable & Healthy Communities Human Health Risk Assessment Safe & Sustainable Water Resources Homeland Security 10 Regional EPA Offices (plus labs and field offices)

What We Have to Offer Natural Resource Expertise Tools and Products National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NARS): assesses the status of and changes in quality of the nation’s coastal waters, lakes and reservoirs, rivers and streams, and wetlands EnviroAtlas: interactive tools and information for exploring the benefits we receive from "ecosystem goods and services“; and to access, view, and analyze diverse information to better understand the potential impacts of various decisions Multi-criteria Integrated Resource Assessment: facilitates stakeholder engagement and science integration for collaborative multi-objective decision making. Landscape Ecology Conservation & Wildlife Biology Wetland & Aquatic Ecology/Biology (including monitoring) Watershed Analysis/Modeling Water Quality/Chemistry Ecosystem Service Valuation Toxicology Ecological and Human Health Risk Assessment Systems/Cumulative Effects Analysis Climate Change Science

LCC Partners Expertise, Data/Information and Opportunities for Collaboration LCC Partners Expertise, Data/Information and Tools Needed for: Making a Visible Difference in Communities (assessments, strategic planning, indicators/metrics, ecosystem service valuation, environment/human health nexus) Regional “Geographic” Programs, inc. National Estuary Programs, Urban Waters Programs Project Impact Review (inc. cumulative impact analyses) for regulatory programs (NEPA, Section 404 permits, NPDES Discharge permits, etc.) Provide “Context” for site-level protection and restoration Developing Climate Adaptation/Resiliency Strategies Regional Watershed and Landscape Assessments (inc. Ecological Risk Assessments)

Opportunities for Collaboration Federal multiagency (DOE, DOI) coordination on research associated with unconventional oil and gas resources (shale gas, oil, hydraulic fracturing, etc.) Collaborations with private orgs and public agencies to promote EPA Healthy Watershed Initiatives Enhance resilience/climate adaptation through natural resource planning, management, and research, across state and federal agencies (NOAA, FEMA, DOD, BLM, NPS, USGS, ACOE, DOI, USDA) using geographic and regional approaches facilitated by the LCCs
