At their meeting on March 2, 2005, the State Air Pollution Control (SAPCB) approved a new charter for the State Advisory Board on Air Pollution (SABAP).  The approved charter is available upon request.

             The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking  individuals who are willing to serve as members of the SABAP. We anticipate the SAPCB will approve membership on the Advisory Board at their meeting early next year. At the same time we expect that the potential topics for the Advisory Board will also be selected.

             DEQ is seeking membership from environmental and health and organizations, academia, the legal profession, industry or trade associations that have a background in air quality technology, policies or programs to serve on the Advisory Board. If you are interested, please submit your name and a brief resume of your qualifications to James E. Sydnor, Director, Air Division, Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 1105,  Richmond, VA 23218, phone: 804-698-4424, fax: 804-698-4510 or jesydnor@deq.virginia.gov.  Submissions are due by close of business on December 15, 2006.  If you have questions, please contact James Sydnor or Alma Banks at 804-698-4070.
