Success Stories
Coming soon... a new name for our Division!
The Division of Remediation and the Division of Solid Waste Management are merging to form the Division of Land Protection. This change reflects TDEC’s lifecycle approach to environmental protection—preventing contamination releases where possible, promoting waste minimization and material reuse, and restoring properties when contamination occurs.
As we make this transition, you may still see references to the “Division of Remediation” or the “Division of Land Protection - Remediation Branch.” Our website will also be updated in the coming months. Although our name is changing, our commitment to protecting human health and the environment remains the same.
The Division of Remediation has many ongoing projects and many successful projects as well. The division maintains a document that highlights a few of Remediation's efforts at restoring Tennessee's environment and protecting human health.
