						  application when the Department has given final approval to a municipal waste
						  management plan for the county in which the proposed facility, or proposed
						  additional capacity for a facility, would be located, and the county has
						  submitted to the Department legal documents necessary to implement the plan
						  under §

(i) A detailed explanation of whether the
						  proposed facility will interfere with implementation of the approved
						  plan.
(ii) A detailed explanation
