What we do

The purpose of Environmental Affairs is to conserve and protect the natural resources (water, air, and land resources) of the City of Detroit in the interests of the health, safety and welfare of the people, to promote improved social and economic conditions, and to protect limited environmental resources for the future benefit of Detroit residents.  This is done through coordinated efforts with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as community groups and citizens.  Environmental Affairs is here to serve the public trust by enforcing environmental regulations through policy and inspections.
