The Hart-Miller Island (HMI) Citizens Oversight Committee was created by the General Assembly in 1985 and is the oldest standing committee within the Dredged Material Management Program process. Membership is prescribed in law. It advise​s the Maryland Port Administration (MPA) on dredged material placement activities at HMI as well as the monitoring program. Recently, it has been engaged in the development of the closure plan for HMI, which recently ceased dredging placement operations at the end of 2009. The committee meets bi-monthly. Staff support is provided by MPA and the Maryland Environmental Service.
