Environmental citations occur when an individual or business violates a rule involving our environment. These rules protect our air, water, and land. The most common reasons for citations are:

• Polluting the air or water i.e  air quality or emissions infractions  
• Hazardous waste disposal violations
• Failure to obtain or follow environmental permits
• Water pollution violations
• Non-compliance with land use regulations
• Illegal dumping

A citation notice will detail what you did wrong, so you will know what you may be facing.

• Fines: You will be made to pay money due to the infraction. The amount will depend on how grave the issue is.
