DEP Reactivating Regional Office Roundtables

The Department of Environmental Protection is now in the process of reactivating the six Regional Roundtables to improve communication with the public and stakeholders. The Roundtables were, in many cases, allowed to go dormant during the Rendell Administration.
The Roundtables were created during the Thornburgh, Casey, Ridge and Schweiker Administrations in each of DEP's six major Regional Offices: Norristown, Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Meadville.
