Non-Emergency Calls, General Questions, Concerns/Complaints

Ohio EPA is currently operating with most staff working remotely. If you are working with our staff on a current project and you know the name of the employee you are working with, email them at firstname.lastname@epa.ohio.gov or call them directly.

Ohio EPA's spill hotline should only be used to report emergencies involving the release of any material that impacts public health or the environment, including chemicals, petroleum, manure, fires/explosions, or to make an emergency notification to Ohio EPA as required by law or by permit.

The regulated community should use the main division number for routine business.

For all other calls, including complaints, questions, or concerns about environmental issues, please use the toll-free numbers listed below for the nearest district office or contact the public involvement coordinator for your region.

If you receive voice mail when contacting us, please leave a message including a call back phone number and someone will return your call the next business day. To reach a specific individual, please use our phone directory. We also encourage you to email your question or concern when possible.
