The Board has seven members, all Delaware residents, including two representatives from each of the state’s three counties and a chairperson. The chairperson serves at the pleasure of the Governor. The six other members serve 3-year terms. All are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the state senate.
Persons who are “substantially affected by any action of the Secretary” may appeal to the Board. The full appeal process is outlined in Section 2 of the Environmental Appeals Board Regulations (7 DE Admin Code 105). Decisions of the Environmental Appeals Board may be appealed to Delaware Superior Court.
