Filtering events
By default, the public calendar page displays events in all regions for the next three months. However, if you are looking for events in a different date range, or would like to see only events in a particular region, you can apply filters to the event listing. To apply a date or region filter, click on the Click on the "Change region or date range" link to show the filter controls. Select a start and end date for the events you would like to display.
If you would like to limit the display to only certain regions, select one or more regions from the list. To highlight more than one, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on the regions you choose. When you're finished, click Apply, and all events matching the criteria you have chosen will appear.
Searching events
You can search DEQ public events using the search box just above the event listing. This allows you to quickly find events related to a particular topic. You can also combine the search fields with the date and region filters to further refine the list of events you see. To search for an entire phrase, enclose it in quotes. Some search examples:
- recycling litter - all events with either "recycling" or "litter" in the description
- "Chesapeake Bay" - all events with the phrase "Chesapeake Bay" in the description
- public notice - all events with either "public" or "notice" in the description; note that if you intend to search for the entire phrase, you should use the query "public notice" (with quotes).
RSS feeds
RSS feeds are files that provide a means for users of a website to subscribe to new information on the site. The information they contain is similar to that available on the website; however, the information is meant to be read by a type of computer program known as an aggregator. Aggregating software will periodically download one or more RSS feeds, provide notification of new web content, and display the information in human-readable form.
RSS feeds are available for all public calendar events, or public events in each DEQ region. All feeds include events for the next three months.

- Click on the "Change region or date range" link to show the filter controls.
