Boards and Advisory Groups

Various groups advise the Department of Environmental Quality on policy and programmatic issues.  These groups provide a forum for stakeholders to provide feedback and advice to the DEQ, and are often mandated formally through legislation and executive order.  Boards and workgroups are also assembled by the department for advice from stakeholders, especially as related to the Department's rule-making authority.
