Buffer zone design and amenities needed by the township or munici- pality should be paid for and maintained by the solid waste facility owner or operator. For new facilities, sufficient berming and buffer amenities (screening) should be provided by the waste facility owner or county to shield adjacent properties, from nuisance impacts. Appropriate portions of buffer zones should be developed prior to the operation of the solid waste facility. The landfill owner should prepare an end-use plan for the landfill during preparation of the environmental impact statement. The plan should meet the approval of the local unit of government. The municipality or township should become involved in the state and regional permitting process for solid waste facilities. The munici- pality or township should establish an ongoing local oversight com- mittee that would act as a communication link between th~ community and the state and regional agencies during the facility's site selec- tion procedure, design, operation and postclosure period. The Metropolitan Council should provide sample ordinances for local regulation of solid waste facilities.
