Where appropriate, some criteria may be met in accordance wi,.h authority <br />granted local units of government to place restrictions and conditions on waste <br />facilities (Minn. Stat., sec. 473.811, subd. 4a). Ultimately, facility <br />approval will depend on whether the proposed facility meets applicable federal, <br />state and local regulations. <br />WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICE IMPACTS <br />In the Metropolitan Area, waste management services are largely provided by the <br />private sector. Solid waste is collected primarily by private licensed haulers <br />who have contracts with individual, municipalities and industries. Landfills <br />are operated by large national waste management companies and by small local <br />businesses. The WMA encourages provision of services by the private sector. <br />The orderly transition from land disposal to waste reduction and resource recov- <br />ery requires that solid waste services continue to be provided efficiently and <br />economically throughout the region. To assure consistency with the Regional <br />System Plan in Part 4 of the guide chapter it may be necessary to stage develop- <br />ment of solid waste services. Waste materials, volumes and supply areas may <br />also have to be restricted. The WMA provides the Council authority to place? <br />(1) conditions or restrictions regarding the type, character and quantities of <br />waste to be processed at a waste facility that is used primarily for resource <br />recovery and (2) restrictions on the geographic territory from which a waste <br />facility used primarily for resource recovery may draw its waste (Minn. Stat., <br />sec. 473.823, subd. 3). <br />Objectives <br />la. Ensure the efficient and orderly transition from land disposal to waste <br />reduction and resource recovery. <br />lb. Ensure that adequate solid waste supplies are available for development of <br />solid waste facilities. <br />Criteria <br />la. Proposed waste facility service areas shall be consistent wit. the land <br />disposal and waste reduction/resource recovery development schedules in <br />Part 4 of the guide chapter. Waste supply projections for facility service <br />areas shall be based on estimates that reflect the potential combined <br />effects of other preferred waste management practices as determined by the <br />waste reduction/resource recover) -velopment schedule. facility operation <br />may be delayed ay.d/or staged to ret sectthe development schedule. Restric- <br />tions ma, he placed on the type, character, quantities and geographic <br />territory of waste supplies for resource recovery facilities. <br />M <br />
