- 3 - <br /> <br />It should be emphasized that the steps outlined above apply to the <br />abatement planning process. The Waste Management Act also'specifies a <br />landfill siting process that will take place concurrently with the <br />abatement planning (see Appendix A for statutory citations). This <br />landfill siting process began when the Metropolitan Council adopted a <br />report in July 1980 that identifies the additional landfill space <br />required by the Region through the year 2000, assuming no land <br />disposal abatement programs to reduce solid waste that would otherwise <br />be landfilled. <br /> <br />Under the landfill siting process, the counties are required to adopt <br />an inventory by June 1, 1981, of four proposed sites in each county <br />for sanitary landfills and one proposed site for demolition debris. <br />By October 1, 1981, the Metropolitan Council is required to adopt a <br />disposal site inventory based on the county proposed sites. By <br />January 1, 1982, the Council will submit a report to the Legislative <br />Commission on Waste Management on methods of mitigating and <br />compensating for the local adverse effects of solid waste disposal <br />facilities. By January 1, 1983, the Council will determine the <br />number of sites to be acquired within each metropolitan county for <br />solid waste disposal. By June 1, 1983, each county-established site <br />selection authority shall select specific sites within the county <br />based on the number required by the Metropolitan Council. <br /> <br /> <br />
