A violation of state or federal environmental laws that poses a significant threat of harm to people, property or the environment – such as illegally dumping a toxic substance into the water or soil – is a crime that will be prosecuted.
Specific laws protect the air, water, wildlife, endangered species, forests, climate, energy and oceans. Other statutes are aimed to curb the illegal use of pesticides and insecticides, dumping of solid and toxic wastes, and to protect established environmental resource policy.

Enforcement of environmental crimes is a complex process.
