Citizen Involvement

The DEQ promotes and seeks active participation by the public in DEQ activities, and in our shared goal of preserving and enhancing our environment. We have established this page to provide easy access to information that will assist you in becoming involved in DEQ decisions and activities of interest, and in finding information for your personal use and benefit. We will be adding additional information and links as they become available. Please send a note to the DEQ Webmaster if you have suggestions on what we should include on this page, or other comments.
