The investigation and cleanup processes at the various types of sites can be a very confusing world. The department compiled these guidance documents and resources to help explain our programs and policies to the businesses we regulated and the communities that surround them. Those who are affected by the outcome of an environmental decision should understand what is going on, have the opportunity to raise relevant concerns and have an active role in the department’s decision-making processes.
