Under these statutes and in accordance with implementing regulations and agency guidelines, the division director has the ultimate responsibility for assuring that the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the region's waters are restored and maintained so that water pollution does not constitute a threat to human health and the environment and to protect the quality of drinking water in the region.

Overseeing the development, assessment, and improvement of management control systems to safeguard programs and achieve mission results.


As an Agency senior leader, the incumbent will view policy and personnel decisions through both an Environmental Justice (EJ) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) lens to support the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, grants, and policies regardless of race, color, national origin, or income.

This includes consideration of the effect of their work on communities with environmental justice concerns.

Engagement with impacted communities in decisions, integrating equity and justice and compliance with all civil rights requirements, will be taken into policy considerations and program implementation to ensure that EPA achieves its mission for all communities.
