The Office of Business Development (OBD) coordinates new development and redevelopment throughout the city of Las Vegas, with an emphasis on the downtown area. It works to increase and diversify the city's economic base through business attraction, retention and expansion programs. The OBD works with the city's Redevelopment Agency on day-to-day operations as well as long-term strategic goals.
The Las Vegas office of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) is administered by an office manager and comprised of branches of the following bureaus: Air Quality, Corrective Actions, Federal Facilities, Waste Management, Safe Drinking Water and Water Pollution Control. The Las Vegas branches work under the same authority as the main bureaus in the Carson City office. The activities in the Las Vegas office have been tailored to meet division needs and the needs of the community in the southern part of the state, including Clark County. The Las Vegas office works cooperatively with the Clark County Health District to ensure protection of human health and the environment in southern Nevada.
Air Pollution Control is primarily responsible for: overseeing the four facilities that generate electricity from fossil fuels in Clark County; inspecting regulated facilities located outside of Clark County; and providing technical assistance when appropriate. This branch does not process new applications; monitor ambient air quality; or implement the motor vehicle inspection program. Complaints about SMOG stations are sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles, and questions about Inspection and Maintenance Emission Standards are referred to the Bureau of Air Quality in the Carson City office. The Air Pollution Control Division of the Clark County Health District is responsible for all other air quality issues in the county.
Corrective Actions Branch provides technical assistance to owners/operators and other interested parties on projects involving surface or subsurface discharges, the underground storage tank (UST) program and/or environmental restoration. This branch also oversees cleanup activities and uses its enforcement capabilities when necessary to accomplish program goals. The Clark County Health District is under contract to the NDEP to conduct inspections and to oversee compliance issues and the removal of tanks that have not leaked. Leaks and spills are handled by the NDEP's Las Vegas Corrective Actions Branch. The Clark County Health District also manages the registration of underground tanks and the enrollment of tanks in the state petroleum reimbursement fund. Registration and enrollments information is sent by the county to the Bureau of Corrective Actions in Carson City.
