The Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) was created in March 2003 by DEQ Director Steven Chester to advise the DEQ on its major programs and policies. The EAC consists of 25 members representing a wide range of interests affected by Department activities including citizen organizations, the regulated community, local government, academia, and others. The EAC has been continued in the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and DNRE Director Rebecca Humphries participates as a member of the EAC. The EAC was given an initial charge of advising the Department of how to improve the effectiveness of public involvement in Department activities. Other issues for consideration are generated by the EAC and through requests from the Department. In general, EAC meetings are working sessions not attended by the public; however, information below includes meeting agendas, meeting summaries, the names of EAC members, and how to contact the EAC.
Public Involvement (2004)
In February 2004, the EAC issued
recommendations
on how to improve public involvement in DEQ activities. Subsequently, the DEQ has undertaken activities to implement those recommendations. The FY 05 Public Involvement Implementation Plan describes activities the DEQ will undertake in fiscal year 2005 to implement those
recommendations. Included as an Appendix to the FY 05 Plan is a
report
on activities undertaken in FY 04.
Also available are the
response to public comments
received on the EAC's draft recommendations and the DEQ
FY 04 Plan
