The Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE) administers several programs that provide incentives to local units of government, business and industry to be proactive in carrying out their environmental responsibilities. Positive public recognition, regulatory flexibility and other incentives are available to those in the regulatory community who go beyond the traditional requirements outlined in the rules and regulations.
