§ 10.1-1401. Virginia Waste Management Board continued.

A. The Virginia Waste Management Board is continued and shall consist of seven Virginia residents appointed by the Governor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section relating to Board membership, the qualifications for Board membership shall not be more strict than those which may be required by federal statute or regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Upon initial appointment, three members shall be appointed for four-year terms, two for three-year terms, and two for two-year terms. Thereafter, all members shall be appointed for terms of four years each. Vacancies occurring other than by expiration of a term shall be filled by the Governor for the unexpired portion of the term.

B. The Board shall adopt rules and procedures for the conduct of its business.

C. The Board shall elect a chairman from among its members.

D. A quorum shall consist of four members. The decision of a majority of those present and voting shall constitute a decision of the Board; however, a vote of the majority of the Board membership is required to constitute a final decision on certification of site approval. Meetings may be held at any time or place determined by the Board or upon call of the chairman or upon written request of any two members. All members shall be notified of the time and place of any meeting at least five days in advance of the meeting.
