ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING

Environmental reviews are required for many projects to ensure that the proposed project does not negatively impact the surrounding environment and that the property site itself will not have an adverse environmental or health effect on land users.

Our counties have 3 watersheds, and all supply local drinking water, water for agriculture and manufacturing, recreation areas, and provide habitats to plants and animals. It is important to protect and maintain the health of our watersheds to keep our communities healthy. Testing allows you to know what is in your water.
