SEJ members have complained a lot over many years about difficulties getting information and interviews from US EPA. SEJ officers and FOI watchdogs have talked to EPA about the problems for a long time, too. Here's a new suggestion for cutting through the fog: call the public affairs director.
Each EPA regional office has its own public affairs director, and they can be contacted via the numbers and emails in the list below. If a regular call to a line press officer brings poor results, try explaining your problem to the boss:
| Region 1: | Nancy Grantham (PAD) | (617) 918-1101 | grantham.nancy@epa.gov |
| Region 2: | Bonnie Bellow (PAD) | (212) 637-3659 | bellow.bonnie@epa.gov |
| Region 3: | Terri White (Acting PAD) | (215) 814-5523 | white.terri-a@epa.gov |
| Region 4: | Larry Lincoln (PAD) | (404) 562-8304 | lincoln.larry@epa.gov |
| Region 5: | Elissa Speizman (PAD) | (312) 353-2073 | speizman.elissa@epa.gov |
| Region 6: | David Gray (PAD) | (214) 665-8120 | gray.david@epa.gov |
| Region 7: | Rich Hood (PAD) | (913) 551-7906 | hood.rich@epa.gov |
| Region 8: | Paula Smith (PAD) | (303) 312-6630 | smith.paula@epa.gov |
| Region 9: | Kelly Zito (PAD) | (415) 947-4306 | zito.kelly@epa.gov |
