The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) in Montpelier, VT is an official Vermont government agency that manages water and air quality, regulates solid and hazardous wastes, and administers various pollution and waste reduction programs. They collect data, conduct research, develop educational materials, administer grants, and collaborate with conservation organizations and government agencies to address critical environmental issues.
The DEC issues most of the state's environmental permits and ensures compliance with regulations, but their work goes beyond that. With a focus on environmental conservation, the DEC plays a vital role in protecting Vermont's natural resources and promoting sustainable practices for a greener future.
