Our mission is to protect our natural resources, environment, and quality of life in Hillsborough County. We are the only local program of its kind in the state that is created by a Special Act of the Legislature. We regulate any activities that could potentially impact the quality of the air, surface and ground water, soil, and wetlands. Our air and water monitoring networks are among the oldest in the country and the data collected is used both nationally and internationally. Our on-site state-certified laboratory conducts over 50,000 analyses each year. We have received 15 delegations from local, regional, state, and federal agencies to perform their work in our county to better serve our customers.
