Court opens process to consider amendment to solid waste plan; public hearing to follow

The Chair presented a formal request from the Montgomery County Solid Waste Coordinator to begin the administrative process of submitting a proposed amendment to the state, which would trigger public notice and a community public hearing. The Chair said explicitly that "making this request to the cabinet to start the process does not obligate the county to finalize the amendment to the plan or authorize any particular change," and that the court would consider comments at a later public hearing before deciding whether to finalize any change.
