Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 11 - Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality › Part 4 - Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management Regulations › Chapter 1 - Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality Regulation Regarding Nonhazardous Solid Waste Management Regulations › Rule 11-4-1.2 - Permit Procedures

Current through June 25, 2024
A. No solid waste
				management facility shall be operated without an individual permit from the
				Permit Board or a certificate of coverage under a general permit.
B. The Permit Board may issue a general
				permit for a specified category or group of facilities that involve similar
				wastes or have similar operating requirements and restrictions.
C. No new solid waste management facility nor
				any lateral expansion of an existing facility beyond the area previously
				approved shall be granted either an individual permit from the Permit Board or
				a certificate of coverage under a general permit, unless such facility is
				consistent with the approved local solid waste management plan for the area in
				which the facility is located. Solid waste management facilities existing prior
				to the date of Commission approval of the applicable local plan are considered
				to be consistent with such local plans, even if there is no recognition of such
				facilities in the plan. However, any lateral expansion of such existing
				facilities which has not been approved by the Permit Board prior to the date of
				Commission approval of the plan must be expressly recognized in the plan in
				order to be considered consistent with the plan.
D. An application for issuance, re-issuance
				or transfer of an individual permit or a certificate of coverage under a
				general permit shall be made on forms provided by the Department. In addition
				to the information required in the application form, the Department may require
				other information as necessary to evaluate the proposed facility.

				purposes of Paragraphs E.1 and E.2 of this rule, the term "applicants" means

				coverage to operate and/or construct a commercial nonhazardous solid waste
				management facility.
(4) If the
				owner (except a public agency) of a commercial nonhazardous solid waste
				management facility contracts with any person other than a public agency to
				operate the facility, the owner shall not allow the contractor to begin
				operation until disclosure statements with regard to the owner and the
