FUND PURPOSE AND GOALS

Formally established in 1995, the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) assists the city in paying for regulated
environmental quality programs, projects, and services which are designed to address air, land and water
pollution and generally improve public health, welfare, and safety (e.g., hazardous materials management and
litter control). Environmental programs ensure that the city and community achieve compliance with local, state
and federal environmental rules and regulations. For example, the Environmental Quality Division has historically
deployed and applied the following types of services aimed to reduce or prevent pollution in Fort Worth:

• Surface water pollutant monitoring in local creeks, rivers and lakes
• Litter control (community cleanups, public education, operational planning)

• Soil/groundwater pollution remediation projects and site cleanup projects
• Hazardous materials management and disposal (e.g., asbestos abatement)
