Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MASSDEP)

MassDEP serves the Commonwealth. We enforce laws that protect our air, land and water. We help cities and towns with local environmental issues. We write permits that support natural resources, public health and our economy. We inspect contaminated sites and ensure proper cleanup. We work with federal, state, local and citizen partners for a cleaner environment.

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age or sex. For more information, including our Notice of Nondiscrimination, Title VI Grievance Plan or Grievance Form, see MassDEP Nondiscrimination & Civil Rights
