The Department of Natural Resources serves both individual citizens and works with companies in compliance with environmental laws. Citizens can call for technical assistance or environmental information and also report a concert in their area. For instance, if someone sees smoke coming from a building day after day, they can call the department. and an inspector will come out to ensure safety. They also work with companies and help them stay within the regulations of environmental laws both on the federal and state levels. Workers issue permits, and inspect water, waste, air and tire pollution.
