EPA Fax Number — Fax Environmental Reports and Complaints

The Environmental Protection Agency headquarters takes faxes at 202-564-0063 for environmental violation reports, compliance filings, FOIA requests, public comments on rulemaking, and permit applications. Many complaints are better directed to the EPA regional office that serves your area, which you can identify on EPA.gov. Fax suits non-emergency matters; an active spill or chemical release should go to the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802 by phone instead.

What You Can Fax to EPA

  • Environmental violation reports
  • Compliance filings
  • FOIA requests
  • Public comments on rulemaking
  • Permit applications
Tip: Reserve fax for non-emergency complaints and routine filings, and call the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802 the moment you are dealing with an actual spill or hazard. For a violation report, send to the regional EPA office covering the site rather than headquarters, and describe the location, the pollutant, and what you observed. On a FOIA request, spell out the records you want clearly so the FOIA office does not have to come back for clarification.
