About Hearing Board
To ensure fairness in our regulatory actions, a separate, quasi-judicial Hearing Board was chartered under Division 26 of the California Health and Safety Code to provide an appellate process for companies and public agencies that are subject to South Coast AQMD rules and regulations. The Hearing Board has authority to grant variances for South Coast AQMD rules, revoke and suspend South Coast AQMD operating permits, and issue Orders of Abatement. As state law requires, Hearing Board members are appointed by, but act independently of, South Coast AQMD's Governing Board.
Terms and Conditions of Hearing Board Appointments
The term of appointment to the Hearing Board is three years. The terms of office for the incumbent Public and Medical Members, and their Alternate Members, will terminate on June 30, 2025. South Coast AQMD is seeking candidates for appointments to the new term, from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028. Hearing Board Members are required to be available, Tuesday through Thursday, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Member-elected Chair is required to be available four days per week, Tuesday through Friday, to handle ex parte variances, pre-hearing conferences, and single-member hearings.
In addition, with reasonable notice, members must be available on occasional evenings and weekends, to accommodate public participation on issues of strong community interest.
Alternate Members serve in the absence of the Regular Member, on an as-needed, per diem basis.
