TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEES
for
GEORGIA'S COMPREHENSIVE STATEWIDE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN

Role of TACs[edit | edit source]

"The Technical Advisory Committees are topic-specific groups of technical experts assembled to provide technical input – as needed – in discussions of specific new policy tools." (The Carl Vinson Institute of Government will provide discussion papers on the range of options for the new water management policy tools.[1]) These "advisory committees are for advisory purposes only" and are not decision-making in nature. "Their only role is to receive information and help evaluate that information and provide some understanding on whether or not proposals will work in target areas." [2] "A technical advisory committee will be assembled to ascertain what technical questions on (a) topic must be asked and answered."

Membership[edit | edit source]

"The Technical Advisory Committees are topic-specific groups of technical experts assembled to provide technical input – as needed – in discussions of specific new policy tools. These technical advisors have extensive expertise and are actively participating and/or researching the topic being addressed. TAC members represent diverse abilities and bring a broad range of scientific/technical experience and regional knowledge to EPD in this planning process." [3]

Public Participation[edit | edit source]

"... in additional to the formal advisory bodies, there will also need to be a series of town hall type meetings throughout the state in the later stages of the planning process."[4]
