Text: ¶ 17. In the present case, after the Authority submitted the Plan to the Commission, the Commission directed the Authority to revise its Plan to include a specific proposed site for its landfill. Although the Authority had originally planned to consider several alternative sites for this landfill, at the direction of the Commission, the Authority began to focus on a single site. The Authority created a site selection committee to review the potential sites in order to make a recommendation to the Authority. Upon the recommendation of the siting committee, the Authority chose a site situated in Clay and Oktibbeha counties, the Tibbee site, as the preferred site. The Authority thereafter included the proposed site in the Revised Plan, as requested by the Commission. ¶ 18. On December 9, 1993, the Commission approved the Authority's revised plan by a unanimous decision. Neither CCALL nor any other party appealed the Commission's decision. The next step was the permitting process.
