What does DEQ stand for?

• A. Department of Environmental Quality
• B. Center for Watershed Protection
• C. Erosion and Sediment Control
• D. Environmental Site Design

Answer: (A)

DEQ stands for Department of Environmental Quality, the state-level agency that oversees environmental protection, including air and water quality, pollution permits, and stormwater programs. Knowing this helps you connect the acronym to the agency responsible for enforcing environmental regulations and permits you’ll encounter in stormwater inspections. The other options refer to different things: the Center for Watershed Protection is a separate organization that provides guidance, not the agency name represented by DEQ; erosion and sediment control describes a set of practices rather than an agency; environmental site design is a design approach used in development and stormwater planning, not an agency title.
