abatement plan. (MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND DESCRIBED FOR THE FIVE-YEAR PERIODS, (1980) 1981-85, 1985-90, 1990- 95 AND 1995-2000.) If landfilllng is selected as a management technique, areas suitable for landfilllng must be identlfed, using the (AREA AND) site selection process in Table 6 (AND 7). Table 6 contains criteria about potential land areas that may (NOT) be used as landfills. No land shall be excluded from consideration as a potential landfill-~ite ~nless the MPCA determines that land is ]-~t~insically unsuitable~ ~DATA CONC-~-RNI--~'THE CRITERIA SHOU~-~E COLLECTED AND EVALUATED TO LIMIT AREAS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED. ONCE SEARCH AREAS ARE DETERMINED BROAD ENGINEERING, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE CRITERIA IN TABLE 7 TO IDENTIFY SPECIFIC SITES.) Once identified, specific sites shall be subjected to detailed hydrogeologic studies to determine their intrinsic suitability. Maps should be used to document the entire (SCREENING AND) selection process. (THE DEGREE TO WHICH FUTURE LANDFILL CAPACITY CAN BE SECURED BY EXPANDING EXISTING PERMITTED SITES SHOULD BE DETERMINED. COUNTIES MAY INCREASE OR REDUCE THEIR LANDFILL AREA NEEDS THROUGH INTERGOVERNMENTAL OR JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER COUNTIES TO DISPOSE OF AND/OR USE THEIR WASTES OR A PORTION OF WASTES, OR THROUGH IMPLEMENTING WASTE REDUCTION, SOURCE SEPARATION AND/OR RESOURCE RECOVERY PROGRAMS WITHIN THEIR BOUNDARIES. EACH COUNTY MASTER PLAN MUST ALSO PROVIDE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION WASTE.) (THE MASTER PLAN SHOULD CLEARLY STATE THE COUNTY'S DISPOSAL OBJECTIVES AND MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES THAT ADDRESS THOSE OBJECTIVES. ALTHOUGH THERE IS CONSIDERABLE LATITUDE TO DETERMINE WHICH WASTE MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES WILL BE USED TO MEET THE COUNTY'S DISPOSAL NEEDS, ALL POSSIBLE TECHNICAL OPTIONS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. FOR THE OPTIONS SELECTED, CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE GENERAL TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AS WELL AS THE DETAILED FACTORS AFFECTING IMPLEMENTATION, INCLUDING FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE.) Since the county's interim and final master plan will affect the public in a number of ways, public involvement shall be an essential ingredient of plan development. Steering committees should be formed at the county level to assist and advise in preparation of the master plan and to provide a forum for public involvement on other waste man- agement issues. The makeup and function of these committees should be similar to the Council's (SOLID AND HAZARDOUS) Metropolitan Waste Management Advisory Committee. COUNTY ANNUAL REPORT CONTENT REQUIREMENTS Each metropolitan county is required to submit a report to the Council (DESCRIBING EXISTING AND PROPOSED) for approval concerning solid (AND HAZARDOUS) waste management (ACTIVITIES) and landfill receiving rates within the county (Minnesota Statutes Section 473.803, Subdivision 3). The report shall be submitted annually on March 1, and shall cover January through December of the previous year. (THE FIRST REPORT, HOWEVER, MUST BE SUBMITTED BY JULY 1,
