Oregon State Government

View

Oregon DEQ is a state regulatory agency that protects and improves Oregon’s air, land, and water quality. It achieves this by issuing permits, conducting inspections, monitoring pollution, and enforcing environmental laws. The agency operates under Oregon statutes and uses data, reports, and outreach to inform the public and help communities comply with regulations. It stands apart from private firms because its authority comes from state government, focusing on statewide environmental protection and public accountability, including explicit commitments to equal opportunity employment and workplace diversity. Its goal is to restore, maintain, and enhance the quality of air, land, and water for residents and ecosystems in Oregon.
