E&E’s Office of Land Resources (OLR) protects Arkansas’s land through a variety of programs, such as the Brownfield Program, which returns unproductive and potentially contaminated properties back to beneficial use, and the Tire Accountability Program, which promotes environmentally-sound and cost-effective tire waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. In addition, OLR oversees Arkansas’s regulation of hazardous and solid waste.
"Our office protects human health as well as the soil and groundwater of Arkansas by ensuring the safe disposal of waste and the remediation of polluted sites. Solid Waste is managed through the permitting of municipal and industrial solid waste landfills. We oversee the proper management, disposal, and treatment of all hazardous waste in Arkansas as well as underground storage tanks, found at gas stations. We encourage effective management in these arenas through the licensing of industry operators and contractors. It is important to our office to return contaminated land to beneficial use."
