Policy Research and Planning

Members of this group manage the Agency's review of Act 250 applications and coordinate staff review teams for Act 250 and, along with the Environmental Litigation Group, coordinate staff review of other regulatory processes, including Public Service Board and federal EIS processes. The attorneys represent the Agency in Act 250 proceedings and in other forums, including the Environmental Court and the Public Service Board. The group publishes a weekly list of Act 250, Environmental Court and Public Service Board applications and maintains a data base of Act 250 records. This group provides case management for large, complex projects in both pre application work and throughout the regulatory process.

The group also coordinates policy development and compliance, and coordinates policy positions in relation to other state agencies, federal agencies and outside stakeholders.  Staff members also organize and direct the Agency's comprehensive strategic planning process and coordinate other Agency planning activities.
