Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee WORKING GROUPS
Background
In an effort to enhance quality of life for its residents, San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) has committed to improving the environment as one of its strategic goals. To achieve this end, SGVCOG’s Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources (EENR) Committee coordinates environment-related efforts among the Valley’s many jurisdictions, pursues funding opportunities for the Valley, and promotes beneficial policies to its member agencies. As an outgrowth of these efforts, the EENR Committee has created five working groups to address issues related to energy, water, open space, solid waste, and air quality. These working groups will expand the committee’s ability to address environmental issues and bring insight and expertise to the committee’s areas of primary concern.
