Environmental CleanupDEQ's Environmental Cleanup Section protects human health and the environment by identifying, investigating, and remediating sites contaminated with hazardous substances. The Cleanup Section's objective is to guide all sites to No-Further-Action (NFA) determinations as quickly and inexpensively as possible. DEQ has issued over 1,000 NFAs since 1994, some of which include institutional or engineering controls to manage site risks.
Risk-Based Approach
Cleanup Section Components DEQ has a separate program for investigating and cleaning up petroleum releases from underground storage tanks. There is also an Emergency Response Program to oversee short-term cleanups of chemical spills resulting from accidents or natural disasters.
