Board Characteristics: Fifteen members appointed by the Commissioner of Environment and Conservation for four-year terms. Includes one representative each from the recycling industry, development districts, a statewide organization of business interests, the waste management industry, a statewide organization for environmental concerns, agriculture, the Tennessee Environmental Council and the tire industry; three public members representing the three grand divisions of the state, and two county and two municipal representatives. One county representative and one municipal representative must represent the four most populous counties and municipalities, to be nominated by the Tennessee County Services Association and the Tennessee Municipal League, respectively.
