  • Beneficial Use of Select Wastes - 2012 Early Stakeholder Outreach

    DMWM and DSW have been exploring approaches toward promoting responsible beneficial use of select wastes through development of a single beneficial use program.  A request for stakeholder input on developing a regulatory program for beneficial the use of select wastes was described in the June 2012 Early Stakeholder Outreach - (ESO), and subsequent messages and meetings. This Beneficial Use Program would not change or replace existing beneficial use programs established in waste-specific rules such as hazardous waste, scrap tires, compost, sewage sludge and clean hard fill.  It is intended to replace the Integrated Alternative Waste Management Program (IAWMP) authorizations and update the Land Application Management Plan (LAMP) program used for the last several years.

  • Beneficial Use Meetings

    In consideration of comments received  in response to the June 2012 ESO, DMWM sought additional input by announcing via listserv message on November 16, 2012 that it would host three meetings in November and December, 2012.  These meetings included a presentation  to help clarify concepts and discuss comments received in response to the June 2012 ESO.
    
    Stakeholders suggested that DMWM continue an open and collaborative dialogue, so DMWM announced a plan to host periodic meetings through a December 19, 2012 listserv message.  The meetings would serve to gain stakeholder perspective, concerns, and suggestions regarding moving forward with the rule drafting effort.  Public meetings were held on January 16 and February 12, 2013.  DMWM also gave several presentations on the rule development effort and met with interested parties upon request to discuss specific considerations. The next public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 12, 2013, to discuss the 2013 Updated Early Stakeholder Outreach.  Details of this meeting will be posted on this website and distributed through the listserv.  To ensure receipt of information via future listserv messages, interested persons are encouraged to sign up for DMWM’s beneficial use listserv.
