The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) produces two types of policy documents: Department Policy and Procedure, and Division Policy and Procedure. The policy and procedures provide direction to staff on how the department or division manages it programs and activities. Those department and division policy and procedures that are internal and administrative in nature and, therefore, would not be of interest to the public are not posted below. The policy and procedures categorized as "external/interpretive" contain interpretations of environmental statutes and rules.

If you have any comments or questions about the policy and procedures, please contact the appropriate program or individual identified below.
