The
New
York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary Program (HEP)
is the lead program for EPA Region 2 for issues
related to Jamaica Bay. A few of the primary focus
areas include water quality, habitat, and public
education. It is one of 28 National
Estuary Programs authorized by the Clean Water
Act and is made up of numerous federal, state
and local government entities, as well as non-profits,
business and academics. EPA also has an agency
role in wetland, dredging, brownfield, air, water
quality, environmental impact, and landfill issues
related to Jamaica Bay.
