Pursuant to an announcement by Governor Northam, the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) will establish an ad hoc work group of stakeholders to
develop a framework for limiting methane leakage from natural gas infrastructure. This
group will support DEQ in its collection and evaluation of data to inform the regulation
development process.
If you wish to join this group, notify the department contact listed below in writing by
December 21, 2018. Please provide your name, address, telephone number, email

An opportunity for the general public to provide input will be announced in the near
future.
