One Valley. One Voice.
ADOPTED POLICY PAPERS
The SGVCOG adopts various policy papers to outline the position of the agency on priority issues and matters that impact the San Gabriel Valley. These documents are developed based on feedback and input from SGVCOG policy committees, city staff, and stakeholders. Adopted policy papers also guide the developments of the SGVCOG's annual legislative platforms and priorities.
ENERGY POLICY

The Energy Policy was originally adopted in 2009 and recently revised in 2021.

This Policy was originally adopted in 2011 and recently revised in 2021.
SOLID WASTE POLICY
The Solid Waste Policy was adopted by the Governing Board in 2009 to identify and implement pragmatic strategies that assist the San Gabriel Valley to plan for integrated, long-term, and reliable solid waste management needs.

STORMWATER POLICY
The SGVCOG seeks to promote quality of life for all residents by preserving and protecting the watershed and natural environment from polluted stormwater and to capture it and dry weather runoff to augment local water supplies.

ZERO WASTE POLICY
The SGVCOG acknowledges that waste generation negatively impacts the health of residents.
