What does the Environmental Health Department (EHD) do?
• The Environmental Health Department inspects restaurants, mobile food units, employee housing, hotels and motels, public water systems, dairies, wells, underground storage tanks, and enforces environmental health regulations associated with many other business and construction activities. The EHD works with Emergency Response teams in the event of a hazardous waste incident. As the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA), the EHD works with other agencies to coordinate hazardous materials program inspection and permitting activities.
