Solid Waste Planning Cont. Questions We re Asking: What Changes Should Be Made in the Regulations? Are the Regulations/Requirements Clear? How Do Localities/Units Use Their Plans? What Role Do You See or Want DEQ to Play in Solid Waste Planning? What Do You Need From DEQ In Solid Waste Planning? How Should DEQ Use These Plans? Should There Be More Focus on A State-wide Plan? Is There A Better Way To Go About Solid Waste Planning?
