By June, 1981, each county, unless exempted by the Council, must propose four sites within its boundaries for the disposal of mixed municipal solid waste and one for the disposal of demolition debris, in accordance with statutory standards and subject to Council approval. The PCA must certify the suitability of each site for the use intended, based on preliminary environmental analysis. The Council may disapprove a proposed site and require the selection of alternatives. By October, 1981, the Council must adopt a metropolitan inventory of eligible disposal sites. A moratorium is imposed on development at the sites and surrounding buffer areas until October 1, 1983. 2. Disposal %bat. ement and Management Plans. The Council must submit a report to the metropolitan counties by January, 1981, on potentials for abating the need for land disposal of mixed municipal solid waste. This report will assist counties to begin evaluating the'alternatives to land disposal. After the Council adopts its inventory of eligible disposal sites, in October of 1981, the counties and the Council are required to develop plans to abate the need for land disposal facilities. These plans must be developed in consultation with communities containing sites in the inventory. Counties must propose land disposal abatement plans by April, i982. The Council must prepare and adopt a metropolitan disposal abatement plan by January, 1983; and each county must adopt abatement ~lans by June, 1983, to implement the Council's plan. Certain legislative reports are also required following adoption of the inventory. By January, 1982, the Council must report and make recommendations to the Legislative Commission on methods of mitigating and compensating for the adverse local effects of disposal facilities. By January, 1983, the Council must report to the Legislative Commission on its abatement plan and on any legislation necessary to implementation.'. 3. Disposal Site Selection.
