County Hazardous Materials Commission Has Openings

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA — The 13-member Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Commission has three open seats, and county officials are seeking volunteers to apply for the four-year terms.

Commissioners typically represent industry, labor, civic groups, environmental organizations or the Contra Costa Mayors Conference. The positions currently open include the General Public and General Public Alternate seats, as well as the Environmental Alternate.

Interested parties have to live in Contra Costa County. It also helps to have a demonstrated interest in hazmat issues, an understanding of environmental justice and availability for one or two meetings per month, county officials said.

Anyone interested in the Environmental Alternate seat will have to be nominated by an environmental organization, according to the county.

Applications are due by Aug. 30.

Anyone with questions is encouraged to contact Michael Kent at (925) 313-6587.
