About Environmental Services
Responsibilty
The Office of Environmental Services (OES) is a Division within the Department of Public Works and is Indianapolis' environmental agency. OES has been charged with maintaining and improving the environmental quality of life in Indianapolis, ensuring City compliance with environmental regulations and enforcing environmental regulations within Marion County.
History
OES, in some form, has been a major part of the history of Indianapolis for the last 50 years. The City has historically had an Air Pollution Control Division dating back to the 1950's. Indianapolis, recognizing the importance of managing other environmental media, established the Water and Land Protection Division in the mid 1980's. The two divisions were combined in 1992 to form what is presently known as the Office of Environmental Services. OES has worked, and continues to work, with other City departments, local and state agencies, industry, neighborhood associations, and citizen groups to improve the quality of life in the City and to make Indianapolis a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful place to live and work.
Who We Are
OES is an organization of over 40 environmental professionals, with degrees in environmental science, engineering, geology, and other natural and physical sciences. Many of the staff hold advanced degrees and are certified in several environmental specialties. The average experience level for staff members exceeds 10 years. The high caliber of our professionals, and their commitment to their profession, is demonstrated by their active involvement in State and Federal regulatory development and debates on technical issues.
