Quick Answer Directory

This Directory was created by the Illinois EPA to provide small businesses with quick and easy access to Illinois EPA personnel. It is our hope that this Directory will help provide better service to our small business customers as well as others. If at any time you cannot locate the topic you are looking for, please call the toll-free Environmental Helpline at (888) 372-1996. A Helpline operator will assist you with any questions or concerns you may have or put you in touch with one of our expert staff members throughout the Illinois EPA. If you choose, you may remain anonymous.

Also available for your convenience is our Small Business Online Helpline where you can submit your questions via the Internet.

We would also like to encourage you to respond to our Quick Answer Directory Feedback Form. With your feedback to some brief questions, we can work to improve the Directory and make it more user friendly.

Some of the fact sheets listed on the request form can be found on-line. You can view these fact sheets by visiting our online publications.
