2. What haven't they allowed him to do?
Given the list of crimes he has done, trashing the EPA is kind of down on the list. There is nothing his enablers in Congress haven't helped him with.

7. Hazardous waste, drinking water and toxic
substances are not things anyone needs to know about. It's the price of doing business, and if people get harmed along the way...well, it's all for the greater good...of...WR Grace, Dow Chemical, Halliburton, DuPont, Exxon-Mobil, etc., etc

The EPA libraries are essential to the agency’s ability to carry out its mission to protect human health and the environment,” says Michael Halpern, outreach coordinator for the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), one of several groups actively engaged in the debate.

Founded in 1971, the EPA Library Network consisted of 27 facilities across the country at its height, serving 10 regional agency offices, two research centers and 12 EPA laboratories, as well as thousands of ordinary citizens. The libraries house information on everything from basic sciences, such as biology and chemistry, to local records on hazardous waste, drinking water, pollution prevention and toxic substances.

8. Many of them are fascists that intend to remake the world order
into an almost completely privatized society/government run by corporations.

And the EPA just gets in the way of this plan.
