Records of the DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was created by Act 1995-18 which
split the Department of Environmental Resources (DER) into DEP and the Department
of Conservation and Natural Resources. The statute designated DEP as the renamed
Department of Environmental Resources, and DEP received a blanket transfer of
all basic powers and duties of that discontinued department not specifically assigned
to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. DER's authority over
state forests, parks, and outdoor recreational facilities was given to Conservation
and Natural Resources, so that DEP is not directly involved in administering public
properties. The department is charged with responsibility for development of a
balanced ecological system incorporating social, cultural, and economic needs
of the Commonwealth through development and protection. It is responsible for
the state's land, air, and water management programs, as well as other aspects
of environmental protection, and the regulation of mining operations.
