managing the solid waste stream within the 7-county metropolitan <br />area. The solid waste system in place in the 7-county area is <br />basically a three -tiered system whereby cities control and <br />regulate collection; counties are responsible for 'siting' new <br />landfills, developing abatement plans and regulating existing <br />landfills; an the Metropolitan Council has regional planning and <br />coordinating responsibilities. The system was intended to foster <br />and encourage abatement, recycling and resource recovery for as <br />mnuch of the waste stream as possitle and 'hen to assure <br />environmentally sound landfill disposal for t; rema'.ning solid <br />waste. Maximum cooperation and coordination amo..g and between the <br />various levels and units of government and thr private sector is <br />needed if the system is to work as intended. The system has not <br />been entirely implemented as yet, but it appears to be workinb <br />although there is a growing concern that not enough attention and <br />emphasis has been given to abatement, rem ling, z-d resource <br />recovery type activities. <br />0-1. ALTERNATIVES TO LANDFILLS <br />All levels and units of government and the private sector should <br />;.anticipate and cooperate in planning and managing the solid waste <br />strehm to assure a cost effi:,ient and environmentally sound solid <br />waste disposal system. Landfilling should only be used as a last <br />resort and then only for "processed" solid waste or for those <br />materials which can not be r,-,cled, reused, or disposed of in <br />another manner <br />THE AMM STRuNGLY ENDORSES ABATEMENT, RECYCLING AND RESOURCE <br />RECOVERY ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS TO REDUCE THE NEED FOR IN -GROUND <br />'SPOSAL OF UNPR:ICESSED SOLID WASTE. THE AMM WOULD SUPPORT <br />'NTUAL PROHIBITION OF DISPOSAL OF UNPROCE;SED SOLID WASTE IN <br />-....DFILLS PROVIDED THAT COST EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES ARE DEVELOPED <br />AND FUNDING IS PROVIDED TO CITIES T') IMPLEMENT THEIR ASSIGNED <br />RESPONSIBILITIE: IN A REVISED SOLID WASTE MANAJEMENT SYSTEM. <br />J4. COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVES FOR HOST COMMUNITIF�S <br />slid waste disposal facilities have many undesireable impacts on <br />+e "host" communities and they should be compensated for all <br />11rect and indirect costs associated with the unde31reaG'e impacts <br />s:ch a facility has on the community. Direct costs include such <br />tr.inZs as fire protection, water and sewer F4,rvices, buffer zone <br />design and amenities, litter clean-up, etc. indirect costs include <br />s.-!% items as road ma;:,I,enancc monitoring cost¢, end u.se y: xnni..ig <br />an: city administrative .osts associated with the facility. <br />ffective January 1, 19A; the hest communities for :andfilis are <br />zu.!:orize-i to charge a fee up to 15 cents per cubic: yard as <br />c -_.-;,ensat iori for these impacts. <br />THE AMM SCi;ORTS THIS AUTHORIZATI(:!i AND BELIEVES IT SHOULD BE <br />
