Commission approves 10-year rural solid waste plan required by TDEC
Summary
The Coffee County Commission adopted a TDEC-required 10-year rural solid waste plan update extending planning years to cover 2034–2035; Commissioner Morris described it as a routine update to meet state requirements.
The Coffee County Commission unanimously approved a municipal solid waste regional plan required by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Commissioner Morris, who chairs the rural solid waste board, described the action as a routine update that carries existing elements forward and extends planning coverage to 2034–2035.
"This is just a continuation of the TDEC state of Tennessee required 10-year plan for rural solid waste,'' Commissioner Morris said, noting the plan updates years and roles for county solid-waste activities. The motion to adopt the resolution (identified in the meeting as 2026-03) was made by Commissioner Morris and seconded by Commissioner Watkins; the plan passed with a recorded vote of 16 yes.
The vote keeps the county in compliance with state planning requirements and schedules solid-waste priorities for the near term. Commissioners did not record substantive debate on specific programmatic changes during the meeting; the item carried as presented.
