Environmental Concerns

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources provides a way for you to report suspected environmental concerns through an online reporting form. If you would rather contact a regional office near you feel free to follow this link for more information.

What is the difference between environmental concerns and environmental emergencies?

An environmental concern is a situation that you believe threatens the environment, such as a trash dump, discarded waste tires or colored water in a stream.

An environmental emergency poses an immediate threat to the public health or the well-being of the environment.

Examples of environmental emergencies include:

Oil and chemical spills,
Radiological and biological discharges,
Accidents causing releases of pollutants.

If you are involved in or witness an environmental emergency, please call the Missouri Department of Natural Resources at 573-634-2436. For more information see Environmental Emergency Response.
