Email Reveal EPA Libraries Dispersion - Nov 20: U.S. EPA is
frantically dispersing its library collections to preempt Congressional
intervention, according to internal emails released by Public Employees
for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). PEER said, "Contrary to
promises by EPA Deputy Administrator Marcus Peacock that all of the
former library materials will be made available electronically, vast
troves of unique technical reports and analyses will remain indefinitely
inaccessible." Meanwhile, many materials formerly held by the Office
of Prevention, Pollution and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) Library, in EPA?s
Washington D.C. Headquarters, were directed to be thrown into trash bins,
according to reports received by PEER. This month, EPA closed the OPPTS
Library, its only specialized library for research on health effects and
properties of toxic chemicals and pesticides, without notice to either
the public or affected scientists.
