To make it easier and quicker for citizens to get information about their environment, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 has established a toll-free hotline.

The line is answered weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. At other times, callers may leave messages along with their area codes and phone numbers and EPA staff will return their calls the next business day. Employees fluent in Spanish are available to assist callers.

Hotline callers are referred to the correct agency and person, making it easier for citizens to get the latest information.

Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas citizens may reach the hotline at 1-800-887-6063.
