Budget & legislative priorities

Ecology operates as a public service and governmental agency. We are proud of our accountability and transparency, and here you'll find information about our budget and our legislative requests.

How we're funded

Our funding comes from federal grants, state taxes, permit fees, penalties, repaid loans, and climate auctions.

Our budget

Every even-numbered year, we submit a request to the Governor for our capital and operating budgets.
