What must a DEQ file closure letter indicate?

A DEQ file closure letter indicates that the report has been registered with the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). This registration is an important step in the process of addressing environmental concerns, as it signifies that the DEQ has acknowledged the findings of an environmental assessment or cleanup process. This formal recognition is critical for both legal and regulatory purposes, ensuring that the information is on record and that any necessary follow-up actions can be monitored.

When a closure letter is issued, it typically confirms that all required documentation has been submitted and that the DEQ has reviewed the data regarding the environmental condition of the site. This serves to provide accountability and assurance to stakeholders that the site has been properly evaluated and that any potential risks have been addressed according to regulatory standards.
