The following procedure will be used when the Council receives solid or hazardous waste permit applications for review: 1. All known affected and interested parties will be notified; 2. If necessary, a public hearing on the proposed waste facility will be called; 3. Not less than 10 days before a public hearing, the Council will publish a notice in a newspaper or newspapers having general circulation in the Metropolitan Area, stating the date, time and place of the hearing, and the place where the permit application may be examined by interested people; 4.

The Council's (SOLID AND HAZARDOUS) Metropolitan Waste Management Advisory Committee will review the permit application and make recommendations to the Council. When a public hearing is to be held, the advisory committee will conduct its review at the same time as the public hearing activities to complete the review procedures within the 60-day review period; 6. The advisory committee will conclude its review in sufficient time to allow the recommendations to be discussed and considered by the council's Physical Development Committee; and 7. To the extent possible, the Council ~ill conduct its review concurrent with and complementary to reviews by other governmental jurisdictions.
