"How Trump Could Shrink EPA"

"Buyouts and budget cuts are some options the president-elect might consider to reduce the agency’s workforce."

"EPA has made significant gains in staffing under President Joe Biden. President-elect Donald Trump will attempt to undo them.

When Biden came to office almost four years ago, he pledged to rebuild EPA, which had seen hundreds of employees leave due to frustration with the first Trump administration. The agency made strides in hiring more staff, flush with cash from Biden’s signature climate and infrastructure laws that boosted its workload.

As a result, more are on board at EPA. Administrator Michael Regan said in a speech this June that the agency increased its ranks by nearly 5,200 employees since his arrival."
