Hazardous
Waste Management Advisory Council
The
Hazardous Waste Management Advisory Council (HWMAC) serves as the initial rulemaking
body for the LPD and operates under the authority of the Oklahoma Hazardous Waste
Management Act. The HWMAC holds public hearings, reviews hazardous waste issues,
and provides expertise about various hazardous waste issues. All hazardous waste
rules and regulations must first be reviewed and approved by the HWMAC before
being recommended to the Environmental Quality Board. Once approved by the Environmental
Quality Board, the rules proceed to the State Legislature and the Governor for
final approval. The Council is composed of nine members who represent specific
areas of expertise as described by 27A O.S. § 2-2-201(D), the Oklahoma Environmental
Quality Code. |

How To Participate
Every council meeting is open to the public. In addition to specific agenda items, there is an opportunity at each meeting for members of the public to address topics that are not otherwise covered. Additionally, the Council may conduct public forums separate from the regular meetings as necessary for discussion of issues related to hazardous waste.
The review of proposed rules is frequently a highly detailed process. Council members can benefit the most from written comments submitted in advance of the meeting. Send comments to:
