Welcome!

Welcome to Ohio EPA. Ohio EPA was created on October 23, 1972. Since then, there have seen many positive changes and improvements to Ohio’s environment.

For a very good overview of Ohio EPA’s first 30 years, you may want to read The History of Ohio EPA - 1972-2002. This document was developed by a group of your fellow employees as part of the Developing Excellent Agency Leaders (DEAL) program. For more information, including some great posters summarizing Ohio EPA’s accomplishments, click here.

We have developed this portion of the Web site to both welcome you to the Agency and to help you find the information you need to settle in quickly. Although you will likely attend an organized new employee orientation, either at the central office in Columbus or at your district office, having quick access to the information here may be beneficial.

In developing this site, we surveyed Ohio EPA management and recently-hired employees to find out some of the most frequently asked questions posed by new employees or those who are seeking employment with the Agency.
