Interstate Environmental Commission

The Interstate Environmental Commission (IEC) is a regional organization responsible for monitoring and managing environmental issues—such as water and air quality—across multiple states, focusing mainly on urban areas like New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Established to coordinate efforts and enforce environmental regulations, the IEC works to protect public health and natural resources by addressing pollution, overseeing waste management, and promoting sustainable practices within its jurisdiction. It functions as a collaborative body, ensuring states work together to solve environmental challenges that cross borders, leading to cleaner air, water, and a healthier environment for residents.
