Civil Rights, Environmental Justice and Accessibility

Title VI and ADA Compliance

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality supports Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. DEQ does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, or sex in administration of its programs or activities. DEQ does not intimidate or retaliate against any individual or group because they have exercised their rights to participate in actions protected, or oppose action prohibited, by 40 C.F.R. Parts 5 and 7, or for the purpose of interfering with such rights. 

DEQ also supports Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act. We make every effort provide accessible facilities and materials. 

We can provide documents and information on our programs in alternate formats or in a language other than English upon request.

Committed to environmental justice

Environmental Justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, culture, education or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies.

DEQ adopted our Environmental Justice Policy in 1997 to guide the agency’s work, including principles for making environmental equity inherent in the way DEQ does business. Visit our Environmental Justice page for full information on our work toward these principles.
