The Environmental Quality Board (EQB) draws together the Governor's Office, five citizens and the heads of 9 state agencies in order to develop policy, create long -range plans and review proposed projects that would significantly influence Minnesota's environment. The Board staff is housed in the State and Community Services Division of the Department of Administration. University of Minnesota undergraduate student April Loeding and a team of EQB staff members, including Gregg Downing, Jon Larsen and John Wells, prepared this document to simplify and streamline public understanding of the environmental review process. Heidi Johnson at the Department of Administration provided assistance in the graphic design work of the publication. Dr. Terrence Cooper, a Morse - Alumni Distinguished Professor with the Department of Soil, Water and Climate at the University of Minnesota, served as the supervising faculty member for this project. This document was prepared as a result of an undergraduate research assistantship provided by the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA) New Initiatives Program. CURA is an applied research and technical assistance center at the University of Minnesota that connects faculty and students with nonprofit organizations, ethnic and racial minority groups, businesses, rural towns, inner - city neighborhoods, suburban communities, local governments, and public institutions in Minnesota.
