EPA supports the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), and other federal, state, and local partners. EPA is not a lead agency in carcass disposal but, if requested, can provide technical assistance and guidance on carcass disposal options. In addition, EPA is the Water Sector Lead for the federal government and can provide guidance and communications to water and wastewater owners and operators to help response or recovery efforts in the event of an incident.
