What We Do
We protect the environment by regulating businesses with hazardous materials and/or storage tanks, through licensing, inspection, and compliance verification programs. Additionally, to provide environmental protection of the Broward County Biscayne aquifer, we regulate businesses that store, handle, use, or generate hazardous materials and/or waste within the wellfield protection areas of Broward County's supply wells.
File an Environmental Complaint
Environmental complaints can be filed
online (select "Request for Service"), or by calling the Broward County Call Center at 311 or 954-831-4000. We will also accept written complaints.
The Environmental Permitting Division (EPD) regulates the use, storage, handling and disposal of Hazardous Materials. If a business uses, stores or handles 25 gallons or more of hazardous materials, the business requires a Hazardous Materials License.
Storage Tank customers can now submit applications online for new storage tank facilities or modifications to currently licensed facilities. Access
ePermits at any time to submit applications, upload documents and pay fees.
As the population of Broward County continues to grow, so does the use of hazardous chemicals and the potential for contamination of our drinking water supplies. Toxic chemicals from chemical spills can persist for a long time underground and they can travel great distances in the subsurface environment to our public potable water wells.
