Whitman County revises 5-year solid waste plan; resubmission to Ecology imminent
Summary
Great West Engineering updated the county's 5-year Solid Waste Management Plan to address Department of Ecology comments; the draft will be routed for county review and then resubmitted to Ecology for a 45-day pass/fail review. The county will pursue interlocal agreements and resolutions ahead of adoption.
Great West Engineering has updated Whitman County's five-year Solid Waste Management Plan to address comments from the Washington State Department of Ecology and will send the revised draft to county staff for a brief local check before formal resubmission.
The committee described the next review step as largely procedural: the Ecology review functions "essentially as a pass-fail evaluation based strictly on whether previous comments were resolved." County staff said they will concurrently prepare local interlocal agreements and resolutions for adoption in the coming weeks to support the plan's resubmission and anticipated approval.
The update is intended to close out Ecology's findings; the committee discussed timing for formal adoption once the 45-day review concludes.
