Client Contact Group (CCG)

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources recognizes the need to provide the public with a way to learn about new programs and requirements related to Environmental Services programs. The Client Contact Group is an open forum to discuss new rules or program developments on the state and federal level. These meetings are a good source of information for anyone who works with or has an interest in activities related to environmental management.

The Client Contact Group meetings are held virtually. Meetings are typically held on the Thursday prior to each month's Environmental Protection Commission Meeting. All meetings are open to the public.
