Environmental Crimes
The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office prosecutes cases such as illegal dumping onto land or into water, improper disposal of oil and gas waste, and criminal outdoor burning. These laws are designed to protect the health, safety and welfare of all Montgomery County Citizens, both today and tomorrow.
This is a large task that requires as much community participation as possible and a large majority of the Environmental Crimes prosecutions in Montgomery County begin with citizen complaints.
