Air District Seeks Candidates for Hearing Board

The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District is seeking an individual interested in serving on the APCD’s Hearing Board.
The APCD is seeking an attorney who is an active member of the State Bar of California. Candidates for this position must be a resident of Ventura County.
The Hearing Board is a quasi-judicial body that acts upon petitions submitted by operators of air pollution emission sources, APCD staff and the public. It conducts public hearings and makes various decisions regarding air pollution sources in Ventura County. Typical decisions made by the Hearing Board include whether temporary relief from APCD Rules should be issued; whether the APCD's denial, suspension or conditional granting of a Permit was warranted, and; determining whether a Permit to Operate should be revoked.
The Hearing Board meets Monday evenings, as needed, at 5:30 PM. Meetings last from one to two hours and typically occur one to two times per month. Hearing Board members are paid $75 per meeting. The Air Pollution Control District’s Governing Board makes appointments to the Hearing Board. New members should be willing to attend two two-day training classes conducted by the California Air Resources Board.
Interested individuals should contact the APCD’s Keith Duval by phone at 805/645-1410 or by email at keith@vcapcd.org.
