Commission authorizes drafting of 10-year solid waste management plan
Summary
Commissioners authorized county staff to draft a state-required 10-year solid waste management plan that outlines expected waste volumes, recycling programs and landfill intake; authorization is needed for grant eligibility.
County staff presented the county's required 10-year solid waste management plan and commissioners voted to authorize drafting the plan.
A presenter identified the plan as a state requirement covering the next decade of expected waste volumes, recycling programs and landfill intake. "What that is is a, it's a state law," the presenter said, adding the plan is necessary to qualify for certain grants and lays out how municipalities may participate.
The presentation described the plan as encompassing projected waste amounts, door-to-door pickup considerations and recycling program design. Commissioner Jeff moved to allow PHE to draft the county's solid waste management plan; the motion received a second and was approved by the commission.
The commission did not detail a timeline for completion in the meeting but approved the drafting authorization so staff can begin preparing the plan that typically covers a 10-year planning horizon.
