Environment

Imagine if all your drinking water came from just one single place. Imagine how valuable that source of water would be to you. Imagine if the air you breathed caused you to cough, you might ask ...

"What has been done to protect these resources?"

MVRPC's Environmental Planning Division works with local communities to ensure our air and waters are protected for future generations.

Air Quality Planning

The Miami Valley region is required by the federal Clean Air Act to have a plan to keep the air clean. MVRPC incorporates air quality issues into planning through several programs and initiatives.

Water Quality Management Planning

In accordance with the Clean Water Act, MVRPC's Water Quality Management program serves as the Designated Water Quality Planning Agency for the Miami Valley Region. MVRPC has adopted a watershed focus to deal with water resource issues, and groundwater protection continues to be another major focus of the Agency.
