Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) are frequently included in enforcement agreements reached between the federal government and businesses or individuals who have violated environmental laws. As part of a settlement, an alleged violator may voluntarily agree to undertake an environmentally beneficial project related to the violation in exchange for mitigation of the penalty to be paid. Diesel retrofits have been the focus of several Supplemental Environmental Projects in recent years. A summary of significant cases and settlements can be found on EPA’s website at: www.epa.gov/compliance/civil/seps/index.html
