Environmental Protection Division

The Web site has been designed to supply easy-to-find information about our efforts to protect and manage Georgia's air, water and land resources for its estimated 9. 5 million citizens. The EPD mission, vision, and guiding principles serve as a foundation for EPD's work to address the various environmental issues in this rapidly growing state. These issues vary from the quality of the air in metropolitan areas, to the impact of population growth on the provide of fresh water, to the quality of the water in Georgia's many lakes and streams.
