Environmental Division

Environmental Program
 

The environmental staff is involved in all phases of OCS activity, from the development of the 5-Year Program through platform removals. A special goal of the Environmental Program is to develop workable solutions for those industry activities that could adversely affect environmental resources. This allows development to continue while the environment is safeguarded. The work is accomplished through the Environmental Sciences Program and the Environmental Assessment Program, and the Environmental Compliance Unit.
