The Site Mitigation Program is designed to oversee the cleanup of contaminated sites resulting from leaking underground storage tank systems and improper storage or disposal of hazardous materials.

Environmental Health staff investigates releases that have occurred from underground storage tank systems and notifies the responsible party of their obligation to identify the extent of contamination and initiate appropriate clean-up efforts. Staff reviews work plan proposals, evaluates site assessment reports, and directs final sampling to verify that remediation has been completed. Staff is responsible for ensuring that all contaminated soil and groundwater at sites requiring cleanup are properly treated or disposed of in accordance with criterial that have been established to protect public health and the environment.
