Summary

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is bracing for major upheaval if Donald Trump returns to the presidency, with anticipated cuts to staff and environmental protections.

During his previous term, Trump rolled back over 100 environmental regulations, leading to staff departures and a weakened EPA.

Now, with plans under “Project 2025,” Trump allies aim to dismantle offices focused on environmental justice and pollution enforcement, prioritize loyalty in staffing, and potentially reverse Biden-era policies on PFAS, lead, and climate regulations.

EPA employees express heightened anxiety, fearing intensified ideological interference.
