	Chapter 6 - The Department of Environmental Protection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Today, while California is still a pioneer in its efforts to protect the environment, the organization of its statewide environmental protection agency has fallen behind the times.
		Unfortunately, while the goal of the reorganization was to create an integrated environmental protection program, Cal-EPA continues to operate as a collection of boards and commissions without a unified environmental protection strategy.
		Instead of added protection this fragmentation means agencies are not sure how many toxic cleanup sites exist; different cleanup processes and standards are used by each agency for the same toxic contaminants under identical circumstances; and, for any given cleanup, it is unclear which agency is responsible.
