Board of Environmental Protection Policy Regarding Remote Participation in Board Proceedings The legal framework before the Covid emergency required Board members to be physically present for public proceedings.

Written comment on the proposed Policy Regarding Remote Participation in Board Proceedings may be submitted to the Board until 5:00 p.m. on September 27, 2021. Written comments may be directed to: William F. Hinkel The Board will hold an in-person hearing on September 28, 2021, beginning at 9:00 a.m. to receive oral comment on the proposed policy. The hearing will be held at the Augusta Civic Center, 76 Community Drive, Augusta, Maine 04330. Immediately following the hearing on September 28, 2021, the Board may deliberate and vote on whether to approve the proposed policy, with or without revisions based on public comment. Questions regarding the hearing location and logistics may be directed to Board Clerk Ruth Ann Burke ruth.a.burke or 207-287-2811. |
