Public Information Request

Public Information concerning EPD activities can be obtained in three ways:

1. ENVIROS.  ENVIROS is EPD's on-line search engine and searches records within EPD's POSSE Licensing and Inspection database.  (POSSE contains information from 2001 forward.)  ENVIROS currently only includes information on Hazardous Material Management Facilities - EAR files are not yet included.

2. Send a request in writing. A request can be made by sending a fax to 954-577-2389 or by sending a letter via U.S. Mail to the address on our home page. A request in writing should be addressed to the Enforcement Administrator and should contain all relevant information about the subject of your request including:

  • Subject Name
  • Subject Address
  • What type of information you are requesting (enforcement information, discharge information, complaints, inspection results, etc.)
  • Time frame of the search (Our current computer database has information from 2001 forward. If you require information dating past 2001 a monetary fee may be assessed to cover staff research time)

3. Request to review file(s) in person.  To schedule a file review, please send a request by completing the attached PDF form For File Review click here (.pdf, 287kB) and faxing to 954-577-2389.  Within 2 - 3 business days, you will be contacted to confirm your files are ready for review at:
