The Environmental Division is responsible for implementing several programs which serve to promote a clean and healthy environment for the enjoyment of Imperial Beach residents, businesses, and visitors.
The Department of Environmental Health and Quality’s (DEHQ) Beach and Bay Water Quality Monitoring Program protects the public health of millions of residents and visitors each year through beach water testing, public education, outreach, and beach postings.
Like many coastal communities, the City of Imperial Beach is facing an increased risk of storms, flooding, and erosion due to sea-level rise. To better understand the risks to the community, the City of Imperial Beach Sea Level Rise Assessment was produced in 2016.
