� N E S <br /> O A Citizen's Guide:Community Decision-Making Basics <br /> About the EQB <br /> The Environmental Quality Board (EQB) draws together the Governor's Office, the heads of nine state agencies <br /> and five citizens in order to develop policy and review proposed projects that could significantly influence <br /> Minnesota's environment. The Board staff is housed in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency building. <br /> About this document <br /> This document was prepared as a result of an undergraduate research assistantship provided by the Center for <br /> Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA)New Initiatives Program. In 2005 University of Minnesota undergraduate <br /> student April Loeding and a team of EQB staff members, including Gregg Downing, Jon Larsen and John <br /> Wells, first prepared this document to streamline public understanding of the environmental review process. <br /> Heidi Johnson at the Department of Administration provided assistance in graphic design work for the <br /> publication. Dr. Terrence Cooper, a Professor at the University of Minnesota, served as the supervising faculty <br /> member for this project. <br /> In 2014 the document was revised by University of Minnesota undergraduate student Amy Whooley and a team <br /> of EQB staff members, including Kate Frantz and Caroline Magnuson. <br /> This document is not intended as a substitute for Environmental Quality Board rules and should be used in <br /> conjunction with the rule provision parts 44 10.1000 to 4410.1700. Copies of the rules are available from <br /> Minnesota's Bookstore, www.minnesotasbookstore.com, or at the Revisor of Statues homepage <br /> at www.revisor.mn.gov.
