IDEM’s MissionWe Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment
IDEM’s mission is to implement federal and state regulations to protect human health and the environment while allowing the environmentally sound operations of industrial, agricultural, commercial and government activities vital to a prosperous economy.
How Does IDEM Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment?
• Develop regulations and issue permits to restrict discharges to the environment to safe levels.
• Inspect and monitor permitted facilities to ensure compliance with the permits.
6
How Does IDEM Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment?
• Use compliance assistance and/or enforcement when people exceed their permit levels or violate regulations.
• Educate people on their environmental responsibilities.

25 Years of Progress• At the end of 2009, for the first time since
ambient air quality standards were developed, all of Indiana met all of the health based ambient air quality standards (including the 0.075 ozone standard).
• During 2010, the new 0.15 microgram per cubic meter lead standard became effective and almost 700 people may be breathing air above that new standard. IDEM is working to make sure that those Hoosiers have clean air to breathe.
• Outdoor Hydronic Heater (formerly Outdoor Wood Fired Boiler) Rule effective May 18, 2011.
• Automotive mercury switch removal program.11
