Division of Air and Waste Management

Several branches within DAWM oversee the cleanup of contaminated properties:

• Tank Management Branch oversees the cleanup of leaks from underground and above ground storage tanks. 
• Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Branch (SHWMB) oversees cleanup from sites that have treated, stored or disposed of hazardous waste onsite, called RCRA Corrective Action sites. 
• Site Investigation and Restoration Branch oversees cleanup of sites that were contaminated as a result of past use, from dry cleaners to chemical companies. 
• Air Quality Management Section oversees the removal of asbestos.

The direct links below include programs that do not fall under the Division, like debris pit remediation, programs designed to prevent releases, including the Accidental Release Prevention Program, or the Emergency Response Group that responds to releases. Also, resources for individuals wanting to cleanup a contaminated site are included.
