At the Utah Department of Environmental Quality our mission is to safeguard and improve Utah’s air, land and water through balanced regulations. Doing this requires that the scientists and engineers at DEQ work across a variety of disciplines and in every corner of the state. This work is an important part of building a prosperous and healthy Utah where all of us can thrive. Each week in the “DEQ Blog” we document this work and the many projects benefiting the people of Utah.
With the new year just around the corner, we thought it would be nice to take a look back. Below are the 12 most popular blogs from 2019.
