EPA told some of its environmental justice employees when their last days at the agency will be, following weeks of ambiguity from court-ordered pauses.
“Consequently, you will be separated from the EPA effective 08/25/25,” according to a specific notice of reduction in force reviewed by POLITICO’s E&E News sent by Assistant Deputy Administrator Travis Voyles late Friday afternoon.
EPA spokesperson Carolyn Holran said the agency issued RIF “notices to 50 EJ employees located in the Washington D.C. headquarters offices.”
The Friday notice says the employees affected “will be eligible for severance pay” and laid out the procedural steps for appealing the RIF decision to the Merit Systems Protection Board “if you believe your retention rights were violated.”
