Committee adopts DEC-required Solid Waste Management Plan and forwards it to full Board
Summary
The committee voted to adopt the county’s DEC-required Solid Waste Management Plan, roughly 400 pages with an implementation matrix; the plan will be transferred to DPW for management and must be updated until a new cycle in 2029, and the committee forwarded the plan to the full Board for approval.
The Agriculture, Planning, Tourism & Community Development Committee on June 23 adopted Washington County’s DEC‑required Solid Waste Management Plan and voted to forward the plan to the full Board for approval.
Laura Oswald, the county’s Economic Development Director, presented the plan — described as nearly 400 pages with an attached implementation matrix — and said the county will transfer day‑to‑day management of the plan to the Department of Public Works and will be required to update the Board on progress. Oswald told the committee that, under the state process, the county must restart the full plan process in 2029.
Mr. Campbell moved to adopt the plan and forward it to the full Board; Mrs. Clary seconded the motion and it was adopted. The committee recorded the action as a Board resolution to be considered by the full Board. No further details on subsequent implementation funding or schedule were provided at the meeting.
