Summary
Department of Environmental Quality; authority of citizen boards. Provides that the Air Pollution Control Board and the State Water Control Board may delegate their authority to make permitting decisions to the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality (the authority to issue permits related to waste management is already vested with the Director). Either Board has the discretion to make a final permitting decision if it finds significant public interest in the permit, substantial and disputed issues within the scope of the Board's statutory authority, and that the time required for a public hearing and decision by the Board would not create an unreasonable delay. The membership of all three citizen environmental boards would also be reconfigured so that the membership of each board—the Air Pollution Control Board, the State Water Control Board, and the Virginia Waste Management Board—includes at least one member from the other two boards.
