Idaho Department of Environmental Quality

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) was created by the Idaho Environmental Protection and Health Act (Idaho Code §39-1).

DEQ implements state environmental programs pursuant to state laws and rules. In general, Idaho’s environmental programs meet the requirements of the major federal environmental protection laws, including the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and a portion of the Clean Water Act. DEQ is authorized to administer state programs in lieu of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administering these federal acts.
