Summary:

Both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the General Services Administration (GSA) agree that EPA needs a new headquarters. Until a solution is found, efforts to alleviate overcrowding and improve air quality and working conditions at EPA's current headquarters (Waterside Mall in southwest Washington, D.C.) will continue and should provide interim improvements. Although the new Federal Triangle Building initially appeared to be a promising site, neither EPA nor GSA anticipated congressional reluctance concerning EPA's occupancy of the building. In spite of a 5-year lead time, GSA has been unsuccessful in securing a consolidated location for EPA. As a result, EPA will continue to spend millions on short-term leases and employee shuttle services until a long-term solution is found. GAO believes that the new administration should give prompt attention to EPA's need for consolidated headquarters space.
