The EMB headquarters and regional offices are organized. There are 16 EMB regional offices within the country and about one half of the regional offices are provided with a laboratory. However, the functions of the regional office’s laboratory vary from region to region.

There are only 12 staff of the EMB Central Office that are assigned in the Water Quality Management Section whose main function is the formulation of policies, plans and programs, standards and rules and regulations on Water Quality Management and Pollution Control while the regional offices have 56 staff assigned to enforce policies, rules and regulations.

Below is the Personnel Organization of EMB Regional Offices
