Final Technical Guidance
DEP ID: 254-2212-504. Title: Guidelines for the Development and Implementation of County Municipal Waste Management Plan Revisions. Description: This technical guidance document provides the Department's regional staff and county recycling coordinators with updated information to aid in their development and review of county waste management plans. In response to recent court decisions, the guidance was updated to include revised instructions for the development of waste management plans that include waste flow control provisions, including supplemental considerations that must now be evaluated for flow control involving publicly-owned or publicly-controlled facilities. The procedures to classify revisions to county waste management plans as either substantial or non-substantial have also been modified in the guidance document to clarify the responsibilities of the county in each situation. The appendix to the guidance document was also updated to include the most current court decisions impacting county waste management.
