Minnesota Environmental Quality Board

The Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) is a state agency that helps guide and coordinate efforts to protect and improve Minnesota's air, water, land, and natural resources. It develops policies, conducts planning, and promotes sustainable practices to ensure environmental quality for current and future generations. The EQB also reviews major development projects, provides environmental oversight, and works with other government agencies, communities, and organizations to integrate environmental considerations into decision-making processes across the state. Its goal is to balance environmental protection with economic growth and public well-being.
