Environmental Compliance

The UW-Madison EH&S Environmental Compliance program works to ensure campus-wide observation of federal, state and local environmental regulations for campus air emissions, emergency and hazardous chemical inventories, infectious waste, oil spill prevention and control, pesticide use and stormwater management. For additional information, please visit the program pages on air, oil pollution prevention, pesticides and water or contact the Environmental Compliance Specialist.  

As part of program administration, EH&S staff actively collaborate with FP&M Capital Planning & Development, Campus Planning & Landscape Architecture, Physical Plant, the Environmental Health Program, UW Arboretum personnel and other campus groups. In addition, the Environmental Compliance program works closely with the Chemical Safety Office, which oversees and sets guidance for campus chemical use and storage as well as hazardous waste management. For specific chemical or hazardous waste questions, please contact the Chemical Safety Office.
