Wayne County's Department of Environment [DOE] was formed in November of 1994 by consolidation of the Wayne County Health Department's Land Resources and Air Quality Division with the Division of Public Works from the Department of Public Services. The Division of Watershed Management was later created to better focus the department's efforts in managing the county's waterways, including our two most famous: the Detroit and Rouge Rivers. The central mission of the Wayne County Department of Environment is to create, foster and maintain a clean and safe land and water environment for citizens of Wayne County by providing services for cost effective drainage systems, waste water management and solid waste management. The Department is comprised of the Division of Public Works, Land Resource Management Division, Watershed Management Division, Compliance & Public Affairs Division, and Administration, which work together to complement the department's mission. 24 Hour Environmental Hotline |
