The Daggett County Commission meeting held on October 29, 2024, addressed several key issues, with a significant focus on landfill expansion and regulatory processes.

The meeting began with discussions surrounding the state Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and its stance on landfill operations. It was noted that the DEQ is not firmly opposed to landfill expansion, reflecting a broader trend seen across the nation where many landfills are considering expansion due to increasing waste management needs.

Commissioners highlighted the availability of firms and groups that specialize in assisting with the necessary regulatory paperwork required for landfill expansion. This indicates a proactive approach by the county to explore options for managing waste more effectively while adhering to state regulations.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to addressing waste management challenges and the potential for future landfill expansion as a viable solution. Further discussions and planning will likely follow as the commission evaluates the next steps in this process.
