WM briefs Harrison Township trustees on Pine Tree Acres expansion that would require county and municipal approvals
Summary
WM representatives told the Harrison Township board that planned improvements and expansion at Pine Tree Acres in Lenox Township require an amendment to the Macomb County Solid Waste Management Plan and approval by the county board and a majority of local municipalities.
Supervisor Kenneth Verkest summarized a presentation from WM about proposed improvements and an expansion at Pine Tree Acres, the primary solid waste facility for Macomb County. WM representatives told the board the Macomb County Solid Waste Management Plan must be amended for the work to proceed, and that the amendment will be considered by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners and forwarded to all 27 local municipalities for approval by resolution.
The Supervisor invited WM to the Jan. 12 meeting so trustees could ask questions and better understand the plan before any local resolution is considered. The minutes record the presentation and the procedural steps required: county-level plan amendment and individual municipal resolutions. The board did not take a vote on a local resolution at the meeting.
The meeting minutes do not list the names of WM representatives, specific engineering or environmental details of the proposed expansion, or a proposed project timetable. Trustees were notified about the county process and the need for a municipal majority to approve any change to the county plan.
