I have heard that the epa will pay for information about violations. Is this true?
Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA will pay monetary awards of up to $10,000 to citizens who provide information or services leading to a criminal conviction or a civil penalty for violations of the Clean Air Act. The awards are only made at the conclusion of a case, or if there is a criminal conviction – and at the EPA’s discretion. Criteria for eligibility to receive an award include the nature of the case, the severity of the violations, how much information or assistance the citizen provided, the degree of personal risk the citizen takes in providing the information, and other factors. Awards, incidentally, are not guaranteed, even when a case is concluded.
