By law, the permit process requires the division to review Republic Services plans for the facility. Plans for engineering, operations, closure and post-closure, construction quality assurance and water quality monitoring were also reviewed. We have reviewed and considered all comments received as part of the public comment period on the draft permit. The public can be assured this municipal solid waste landfill permit meets or exceeds all state and federal regulations. The division has no authority over zoning, land use, or where a company decides to locate a facility.
Local governments have authority for regulating land use.
