Earlier this month the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its annual report on enforcement and compliance actions. The report chronicles fiscal year 2013 and highlights the $5.6 billion in fines, restitution, civil penalties, and court-ordered projects EPA collected through civil and criminal actions. This figure includes the $3.7 billion EPA collected as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil spill.
