The principal function of the Hazardous Waste Management Advisory Council is to recommend hazardous waste related rules to the Environmental Quality Board on behalf of the Department. How To Participate Every council meeting is open to the public. In addition to specific agenda items, there is an opportunity at each meeting for members of the public to address topics that are not otherwise covered. Additionally, the Council may conduct public forums separate from the regular meetings as necessary for discussion of issues related to hazardous waste. The review of proposed rules is frequently a highly detailed process.
Council members can benefit the most from written comments submitted in advance of the meeting.
