Updated: DEP Tells Citizens Advisory Council Nov. 17 Meeting To Be Held By Webinar Due To Budget Impasse

After cancelling the October 20 meeting, DEP told the Citizens Advisory Council the November 17 meeting will be held by webinar and it cannot reimburse any Council members for their expenses for attending in-person until the FY 2015-16 budget is passed.

DEP said it is only paying those advisory committee member expenses where they are in the process of developing regulations or fees.

The agenda for the meeting includes--

-- Presentation on EPA’s Clean Power Plan

-- Presentation on EPA’s Oil and Gas Methane Emission Controls Rule

-- Presentation on EPA’s New Ozone Pollution Standards

-- Presentation on final Chapter 78 & 78A Drilling Regulations.
