Office of Environmental Justice

The Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for safeguarding and preserving
Pennsylvania’s air, land, and water from pollution. Its work primarily involves the regulation of
permits and facilities, enforcement of environmental regulations, and responding to complaints.
The Department’s activities have wide-spread implications that affect the quality of air, water
and land. The Office of Environmental Justice works to increase community engagement
between those in environmental justice areas and the Department.
