The submittal was complete on January 22, 1999, when the county forwarded the required cost assessment to Ecology and the WUTC. Per the statutory requirements of Chapter 70.95, and under the WDOE 90-11 Guidelines for the Development of Local Solid Waste Management Plans and Plan Revisions (WDOE 90-11 Guidelines), I have conducted a preliminary review of the Plan. I would like to commend the efforts of the County, the SWAC and all other involved parties in getting the Plan to this point. This planning effort has occurred in a period of very dynamic change in solid waste in the County, and all involved parties have stayed focused on producing a workable, usable document. We are confident this document will guide the County in making the tough decisions it will face in the near future in the solid waste arena. The ~a~___a_ched comments are categorized in two ways. The comments under the first heading must be addr~ed prior to Plan approval. The comments under the second heading, "General Comments", are not re~[uired to be addressed prior to Plan approval. However, Ecology feels that addressing these issues will help clarify the plan. Ecology has focused its comments on substantive issues and has not addfeted editing details in this review I look forward to working with your staff towards final approval of this plan.
