A new task force that will see through violations of environmental laws in western Pennsylvania was organized. The Western Pennsylvania Environmental Enforcement Task Force will guarantee that area businesses as well as individuals will strictly follow laws with regards to air and water. Those who pollute the air and the region’s navigable waterways as well as violators practicing improper asbestos removal will be held liable. Federal, state and local law enforcement and regulatory agencies have all united to organize this task force that will fight against violations of different environmental laws in the western Pennsylvania area.

The formation of the unit was proclaimed a day after the Earth Day celebration where people all around the country declared a renewed obligation for looking after the environment.
