EHB

Welcome to the World Wide Web site of the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board ("EHB"). The Environmental Hearing Board functions as the statutorily established trial court of state-wide jurisdiction which hears certain environmental cases. It hears appeals from actions of the Department of Environmental Protection. Under appropriate circumstances, the Board can issue orders superseding actions of the Department. The Department of Environmental Protection also initiates certain types of legal actions before the Board. The Board holds non-jury trials and issues Adjudications. Trials before the Board are very similar to non-jury civil trials before Common Pleas Courts, The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania or Federal District Courts. The Board also issues legal opinions and orders on pre-trial dispositive motions such as motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment and non-dispositive motions such as discovery motions and motions in limine. The five Judges of the Board are appointed by the Governor subject to confirmation by the Pennsylvania Senate. The Judges of the Board are Judge George J. Miller, Judge Michelle A. Coleman, Judge Thomas W. Renwand, and Judge Bernard A. Labuskes, Jr. Appeals from the Board are taken to the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania.
