Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management
Working
to Protect Rhode Island’s Environment
Who We Are….
The Rhode Island Department of
Environmental
Management (DEM) is the state
agency responsible for preserving the quality
of Rhode Island’s environment
for you and
everyone who calls Rhode Island home. Our
main office is conveniently located in
Providence. We
help protect the AIR you breathe, the LAND your homes, businessesand schools are built on, and the
WATER you use for swimming and fishing.
What We Do….
DEM takes citizen complaints about
pollution
seriously and is committed to responding to
complaints as quickly as possible. By
contacting us,
your complaint can be
addressed and the investigation process can
begin. Or maybe you don’t have a complaint
–
maybe you have a question or need
information about something happening in
your neighborhood. We
can help.
DEM receives complaints and questions about
many subjects, including: illegal dumping, odor
complaints
from industrial facilities, illegal
discharges into streams/rivers, dust problems,
and similar threats to public
health and the
environment.
How
We Can Help You….
DEM encourages your participation in helping
us
protect the environment and health of your
community. We are here to answer your
questions and investigate your
complaints. Are
you looking for information about a particular
pollutant such as mercury or exterior lead
paint?
Or
maybe you are interested in learning more
about a piece of property under construction
near your home, or how
to properly dispose of
used oil? Are you concerned about illegal
dumping or strange odors in your
neighborhood?
We
are here to serve you – please do not
hesitate to contact us if you have questions,
need to file a complaint
about something
happening in your community, or want more
information about the many programs DEM
runs that
may directly impact you or your
neighborhood. You can raise an issue
anonymously or leave your name to get followup
information.
