Welcome to our redesigned Web site. The Public Interest Center's Web site has been reorganized and cleaned up to help users more quickly find information they are looking for. Here's a quick summary of our main Web site areas and information they contain. For a summary of the changes to the entire Ohio EPA Web site, please see the main Web site redesign page.

Office Links

On all of our pages, the top of the left navigation area contains office specific topic links. To quickly return to our home page, click on the "Home" link in the top banner or left navigation area. To see a list of staff members, click on the "Contacts" link. General contact information for the office can be found in the contact footer on the bottom of every Web page.

Online News Room

Reporters and media outlets should make the online news room their first stop. Here you will find links to current and archived news releases; columns, op-eds and letters to the editor; senior staff biographies; online media kits; and easily access information about some of the high-interest sites that the Agency is currently working on.

Public Participation

Members of the public and media alike may want to visit the public meeting calendar and public participation pages through the links on the left navigation bar. The public participation page has links to help users quickly navigate to areas of interest like public notices and procedures for public records requests and file reviews. 

Publications

If you are looking for a fact sheet or brochure, start your search on the publications page. This page lists many of the more commonly requested publications and also includes a link to the Agency's online publication catalog, which you can use to do a more detailed search for a technical publication or guidance document.

Contact Us

Contact information for the Public Interest Center can be found in the footer at the bottom of each of our Web pages. If you are a member of the media, go here to find the representative for your area. For members of the public, go here to find and contact your public involvement coordinator.

Agency Links

The "Agency Links" and "Learn More About links are the same on all Ohio EPA Web pages. The "Learn More About" section includes links to various topics based on the season and focus of Agency programs and priorities. These items, which will be updated periodically, were previously highlighted through individual icons on the Agency’s home page.

To quickly go to Ohio EPA's home page, click on the Ohio EPA logo in the contact footer, on the Ohio EPA Home link under Agency Links or on the words Environmental Protection Agency in the top banner.
