Wayne County is the eleventh largest county in the nation, and the most populous county
in the State of Michigan. The County's land area is approximately 626 square miles, and
is home to over 2.1 million people, residing in 43 communities. Wayne County's
Department of Environment (DOE) was created in 1994 and consists today of the
Water Quality, Land Resources, and Facilities Management Divisions. DOE's mission is
continuously achieved by talented administrators and employees, guided by the strategic
goals of CEO Robert A. Ficano.
