Clean air is not a privilege. Clean water is not a request. They are the standard we enforce.
Steward monitors 14,200 permitted facilities, operates 847 water quality stations, and enforces the statutes that keep this state's rivers fishable and its soil uncontaminated — every day, without exception.
Protection is not passive.It is deliberate.

The standard isnon-negotiable.
