Public Participation
at Ohio EPA
"To protect the environment and public health by ensuring compliance with environmental laws and demonstrating leadership in environmental stewardship."
"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."
Ohio EPA recognizes that its mission and vision cannot be achieved 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.
Public involvement efforts are designed to enable Ohioans to be a part of environmental decisions that affect their life. The Agency offers public hearings, informational meetings, media briefings, advisory board meetings, round table discussions and various publications to educate the public on environmental issues. Each area of the state is served by a public involvement coordinator. To find the coordinator for your area, click here.
