There are a number of areas where EPA or other agencies can exercise policy making discretion. This occurs in areas where environmental laws/statutes (RCRA, CAA, CWA, etc.) and regulations are not specific. (None come specifically to my mind, unfortunately.) A certain amount of ambiguity is intentionally "written into" laws and regulations to allow for flexibility and "discretion." Such is the nature of our the law-making and regulatory process. Nothing can be written to cover every situation and eventuality. Hence, there exists a certain degree of flexibility in how regulations are implemented and enforced.

It means the police officer has a choice. example: a police officer pulls you over for a minor traffic violation (not stopping at a stop sign) he has a choice of whether to give you a ticket or a warning (written or verbal). This is called discretion. Another example would be urinating in public, the officer uses his/her discretion on whether or not to make an arrest or just issue a ticket violation. Police don't have discretion in all circumstances. Law and departmental policy can limit or eliminate discretion. For example, if an officer witnesses a felony, law requires the officer arrest the suspect. And, departmental policy might require an officer issue citations for all seat belt violations.
When policy is implemented, due to the discretion of agencies in the implementation of policy, it can slip away from what voter's might want in the direction of what the bureaucracy wants (to an extent). This movement of policy in the direction of the bureaucracy's discretion is called "bureaucratic drift".
