The Environmental Hearings Office is the administrative unit managing
the following quasi-judicial state boards: Pollution Control Hearings
Board, Shorelines Hearings Board, Forest Practices Appeals Board,
and Hydraulics Appeals Board.
The primary purpose of each Board is to provide fair and objective
hearings within its specialized areas of jurisdiction and to reach
a legally correct decision in each appeal. The goal of the agency
is to render these decisions related to air and water pollution,
hazardous waste, solid waste, water rights, water wells, forest
practices, and hydraulics in the most expeditious and efficient
manner consistent with fair procedure.
The primary objective of the agency is to carry out its mission
while reducing the time required to process appeals.
