Description:

From the Executive Director Posted: November 3, 2020 As Covid-19 continues to impact Oklahoma, our top priority remains delivering vital services, while maintaining a healthy workplace for our employees. With most employees working remotely, innovation has been key. The main DEQ office building and our local offices remain closed to nearly all outside visitors. In our central office, a contingent of dedicated employees has been available each workday to answer phones, process incoming mail, receive payments, and answer open records requests. State Environmental Laboratory employees have worked rotating schedules to make sure public and private water supplies remain safe. Permit applications have been processed, so Oklahoma businesses can continue to operate or reopen. Our local offices have continued to respond to environmental complaints, provide requested services for on-site sewer systems, and provide other technical assistance, while following Covid-19 guidelines regarding PPE and more DEQ GIS Maps DataDEQ’s geographic information system (GIS) is used to manage visual representation of data in maps.  DEQ uses GIS to make maps that communicate, perform analysis, share information, and solve complex problems helping to make Oklahoma an even better place to live.  Visit the DEQ GIS Maps Data website to explore maps and download data.  Data layers on our DEQ Data Viewer include air monitoring sites, Superfund sites, storm water sensitive areas, accredited laboratories and much more.

Medical Waste – Sharps Today, it is not uncommon for citizens to give themselves injections at home for a variety of medical conditions; however, disposing of used needles with your regular trash is not the best solution. First, it’s illegal. State statutes prohibit untreated sharps from being disposed in the trash, regardless of the source of the sharps. It is also dangerous to the people who handle your household trash due to the potential for needle sticks and disease transmission. Fortunately, inexpensive solutions exist. Please review the Safe Sharps Disposal fact sheet, a joint effort by DEQ and the Product Stewardship Institute, to learn more about safely handling your used sharps. If you still have questions, please contact one of our medical waste experts in DEQ’s Land Protection Division at (405) 702-5100. Billing, Invoices, Payments All questions pertaining to billings, invoices, or payments should be directed to DEQ s Accounts Receivable HelpDesk via email or by calling (405) 702-1130.
