The Local Environmental Protection Agencies
They are currently 42 LEPAs in Romania, one for each County, plus the Biosphere Reserve Administration Danube Delta. The Local EPAs were established originally in 1990, but their responsibilities grew substantially after years. The LEPAs oversee most aspects of environmental enforcement at the local executive level, interfacing to many other county and municipal bodies who run certain of the environmental utilities.
The key aspects of the Local EPA control over environmental impacts concern the use of Environmental Authorisations, these including both Environmental Impact Assessments and Integrated Environmental Permitting.
