EAC Agendas & Other Materials

​The Environmental Advisory Council serves as a liaison between the OPSD Director and the public on matters concerning ecology and environmental quality. The Council also monitors the progress of state, county, and federal agencies in achieving the State’s environmental goals and policies and publishes its findings in its annual reports.

Council meetings are generally held on the first Tuesday of every month (except on State holidays) and are open to the public. Agendas and other materials including those for the Rules, Exemption, Information/Outreach, Legislative, and Annual Report Committees – are archived below. Agendas are posted here approximately one week prior to the meeting as informational only.
