President Trump has worked to UNLEASH AMERICAN ENERGY and bring in TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in investment for American families. Under Pillar 2 of EPA’s Powering the Great American Comeback initiative, we are working to lower energy costs for communities while ALSO protecting our environment. @PressSec Katie Zacharia shared the latest in her first briefing today on these tremendous victories.
In a move that will provide predictable and stable markets for farmers, we are proposing 100% REALLOCATION for the additional 2025 Small Refinery Exemption volumes for the amount that exceeded estimates in the “Set 2” Rule. This proposal will strengthen the Renewable Fuel Standard program, open markets for farmers, and grow economic potential for rural communities. Administrator Zeldin just announced this breaking news in Iowa. epa.gov/newsreleases/while-i…

Eric Delgado, a Section Chief in @eparegion6's Emergency Response and Preparedness Section.
Eric leads a multidisciplinary workforce responsible for emergency response, removal actions, oil spill preparedness, major event planning and responder development across five states and Tribal lands.
He’s motivated by the mission and responsibility that comes with being there when communities need EPA most. He’s also motivated by developing people and is proud of the work Region 6 has accomplished to strengthen On-Scene Coordinators’ development and mentoring. Eric enjoys solving hard problems, bringing people together, cutting through the noise, and finding a path forward.
The career advice he’d give his younger self is that leadership has a lot less to do with having all the answers and a lot more to do with earning people’s trust. Don’t wait until you have the title to lead.
Outside of work you can find Eric spending time with his wife and three sons, or behind the camera shooting sports photography.
Thank you making a difference at EPA and beyond!

Since Day One, The Trump Administration has worked hard to support western North Carolina families and businesses recovering from the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene and ensure these communities continue their comeback.
