About Us

• Solid Waste Management; Environmental Health is designated by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) to ensure compliance with the management, permitting, and inspection of solid waste operations and facilities in OC.
• Site Mitigation; Environmental Health manages the State of California Water Resources Control Board's Local Oversight Program (LOP) to oversee the cleanup of areas contaminated by leaking underground storage tanks, such as gasoline tanks beneath gas stations. EH also manages the State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) volunteer industrial cleanup program for contaminated sites in OC. 
• Water Quality; Environmental Health oversees well construction and destruction, prevents cross connections, and regulates liquid waste haulers. It also routinely collects samples from OC’s ocean and bay waters to test for potentially hazardous bacterial contamination, which may adversely affect public health.
