How did the SEE Program begin?
In 1984, the Environmental Programs Assistance Act authorized EPA to establish a program of grants/cooperative agreements to federal, state, and local environmental agencies for projects of pollution prevention, abatement, and control. How is the SEE Program implemented?

These grantee organizations recruit qualified candidates to work in positions at our offices, labs and research centers throughout the nation .
