The protection of the environment is already established as a state goal in Article 20 a of the Basic Law (GG). To prevent impairments (prevention) and to restore resources (repair), the Oberbergischer Kreis has set up the Lower Water Authority, the Lower Immission Control Authority, the Lower Waste Management Authority, the Lower Nature Conservation Authority, the Lower Soil Protection Authority, and the Lower Excavation Authority, which work together across media.
