GGA Committees:

SHEL
Nick Voegtly - Chairman

The GGA addresses health, safety, legislative and environmental issues at The Geysers through the formation of "SHEL."

The SHEL Committee's mission is to inform the geothermal community of potential safety, health, and environmental issues as well as pending legislation and rule changes that could affect The Geysers. The committee was also mandated to address the health and safety needs of the contractors and vendors who do business at The Geysers. The GGA is committed to keeping the geothermal community aware and informed of these kinds of issues so we all can work together and be prepared to address them in a timely manner. To accomplish this mission, the SHEL Committee invites suggestions and topics for action and discussion from consultants, contractors, and vendors.
