Missouri Air Conservation Commission
Members | Meetings | Minutes | More Information
The Missouri Air Conservation Commission, made up of seven members appointed by the governor, was created by the Missouri General Assembly in 1965. The primary duty of the commission is to carry out the Missouri Air Conservation Law (Chapter 643, Revised Statutes of Missouri). Most often, the commission's activities are directed toward achieving and maintaining the National Ambient (outdoor) Air Quality Standards. When air quality in an area meets all standards, the area is considered to be in "attainment." If air monitors detect too much of a pollutant, the area is called "non-attainment" for that pollutant.
Among the commission's duties are the adoption, amendment and rescission of rules; making decisions on appeals from enforcement orders and permit conditions; beginning legal actions to compel compliance with rules; assigning duties to local air pollution control agencies; listing regions as attainment or non-attainment areas based on the national standards; and approving overall plans for meeting the national standards in listed non-attainment areas.
The commission members serve four-year terms. They usually meet once a month. Most commission meetings include public hearings where rule actions, variances from rules and other matters are heard. All meetings are open to the public, and your comments are welcomed.
Notices of public hearings are published in the public notice section of the Jefferson City News Tribune and can be reviewed on our Rulemakings on Public Notice page. You can be placed on a mailing
list to receive notices of commission meetings and public hearings by
calling the Air Pollution Control Program at 573-751-4817 or by signing up for the department's electronic
media list.
