Delegation Agreements
Revised on: May 17, 2024 - 3:58 p.m.
ADEQ is authorized to delegate some of its environmental regulatory functions, powers or duties to a local environmental agency, county health department, public health services district or city agency.1 ADEQ’s rules continue to apply statewide, but delegated agencies may also have separate authority to impose compliance standards that are stricter than those in ADEQ's rules.
