Membership on this group includes 12 voting members, including representatives of Sugarloaf Citizens Association, For a Rural Montgomery (FARM), representatives from the towns of Poolesville and Barnesville, the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, the Upcounty Citizens Advisory Board, and six representatives of the affected community. Six non-voting members include representatives of the Operator of the Resource Recovery Facility, the Operator of the Dickerson Compost Facility, the Operator of the Dickerson PEPCO facility, the Department of Public Works and Transportation, the Department of Environmental Protection and the Maryland- National Capital Park and Planning Commission.

Members will serve three-year terms without compensation. Meetings are held at least quarterly at the Gotic Dairy Barn in Dickerson at 7:30 p.m.

Interested applicants should write to County Executive Douglas M. Duncan by April 27 at the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850.
