Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's mission is:
"To protect the environment and public health by ensuring compliance with environmental laws and demonstrating leadership in environmental stewardship."
Ohio EPA's vision is:
"The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency is a trusted leader and environmental steward using innovation, quality service and public involvement to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all Ohioans."
We know we cannot achieve our mission and vision without input from Ohio citizens. The Agency places a high priority on public involvement and encourages citizens to become involved in our decision-making processes. If you are looking for ways to protect the environment at home or work, click here.
Public involvement efforts are designed to enable Ohioans to be a part of environmental decisions that affect their lives. The Agency offers public hearings, informational meetings, media briefings, advisory board meetings, round table discussions and various publications to educate the public about environmental issues. Each area of the state is served by a public relations coordinator. To find the coordinator for your area, click here.
