EPA’s Most Wanted


Eighteen fugitives are wanted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Criminal Investigation Division for environmental crimes or violations of the U.S. Federal Criminal Code. Some of the environmental crimes involved include illegal (1) asbestos removal, (2) transportation of hazardous materials aboard a commercial aircraft, (3) oil dumping, and (4) importation of vehicles that do not meet national emission standards, among others. The EPA provides summaries of each fugitive case and instructions for reporting information about a fugitive to the agency.
