FILING A COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMINATION

Individuals who believe that the Center has discriminated against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), sex, disability or age may file a complaint. Intimidation and retaliation are also prohibited by EPA’s nondiscrimination regulation and claims of intimidation and retaliation will be handled in the same manner as other claims of discrimination. The person or organization filing the complaint need not be a victim of the alleged discrimination but may complain on behalf of another person or group.

Formal complaints may be filed directly with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The following information is from the Filing a Discrimination Complaint page of the EPA website.

What Information Must a Complaint Include?

The complaint must be in writing, clearly identify who the sender is, include his or her signature, and must provide EPA with the sender’s contact information. We also suggest including a phone number and/or an email address for contact.

The complaint should identify the entity which allegedly committed the discrimination. Please note that EPA can only investigate complaints filed against an entity which receives financial assistance from EPA.

The complaint must allege discrimination prohibited by one of the laws EPA enforces. Describe with as much detail as possible why you feel the entity discriminated against you or others on the basis of race, color, or national origin (including limited-English proficiency); sex; disability; or age; or has engaged in intimidation or retaliation prohibited by EPA’s nondiscrimination regulation.

The complaint must be filed within 180 calendar days of the date of the last act of alleged discrimination. EPA may consider extending the 180-day time-frame for filing, for good cause shown, under certain circumstances.

For additional information regarding complaint processing procedures, please see the EPA Case Resolution Manual.
