The '''Environmental Protection Agency''', commonly abbreviated to '''EPA''', is an agency of the United States government, charged with keeping the environment and animals safe from harm.

== History ==
The EPA caught [[Mr. Burns]] illegally dumping radioactive waste in the city park and fined him three million dollars.<ref>"[[Marge vs. the Monorail]]"</ref> The agency also stopped [[Homer]] from killing the [[Screamapillar]] and made him and [[Marge]] take care of it due to its being an endangered species.<ref name="Frying">"[[The Frying Game]]"</ref>

Later, under the command of [[Russ Cargill]], the EPA was primarily responsible for persuading President [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] to encase [[Springfield]] in a [[dome]] that later became known as [[Trappuccino]]. This action was taken in response to severe environmental degradation of the Springfield area in general, and [[Lake Springfield]] in particular. The EPA had also caught a mutant [[Multi-Eyed Squirrel]] in Springfield, and attributed its existence to environmental conditions in the town.<ref name="Movie">''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref> 

EPA agents generally use [[EPA Helicopter|helicopters]] to get around.<ref name="Frying"/> The agency also used a massive fleet of helicopters to put the dome into place over Springfield.<ref name="Movie"/>
