Agency: Environmental Quality

Function

The mission of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is to safeguard public health and quality of life by protecting and improving environmental quality. DEQ also considers the benefits to public health, the impacts on economic development, property, wildlife, tourism, business, agriculture, forests, and other interests, and the costs to the public and to industry. DEQ has the responsibility to strengthen local health departments' environmental programs; build consensus among the public, industry, and local governments in developing environmental protection goals; and appropriately balance the need for environmental protection with the need for economic and industrial development.

The DEQ's main offices are in the Multi Agency State Office Building west of Redwood Road at 195 North 1950 West. The Department operates an air monitoring center on Parkway Boulevard in West Valley City. The Department also has district engineers located in St. George, Price, Richfield, and Roosevelt. These staff members work in coordination with local health departments to support environmental programs specifically related to the rural areas to which they are assigned.
