RE: Proposed Conecuh Woods LandfillConecuh County

Dear Mr. Cain:

On April 19,201l, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) receivedyour resolution conceming a proposed solid waste landfill in Conecuh County. At present, theDepartment has not received a permit application for this landfill. In fact, the Alabama SolidWastes and Recyclable Materials Management Act requires that before an applicant may submitan application to ADEM for a new landfill permit, the following must take place:

First, the local host government (e.g. Conecuh County Commission) withjurisdiction

overthe solid waste management for the proposed location of the new landfill must review andapprove the proposal and provide an opportunity for public comment, including holding apublic hearing. According to various media reports, the Conecuh County Commissiongranted local approval for the proposed Conecuh Woods landfill during a meeting on April18, 201l.

After completion ofthe local host government review and approval process, the applicantmust next submit the proposal to the appropriate Regional Planning and DevelopmentCommission (e.g. Alabama-Tombigbee Regional Commission). The regional commissionmust evaluate the proposal against the provisions of the most recent regional solid wasteneeds

assessment. The applicant must obtain a statement of consistency. eitherpositive

ornegative, from the regional commission prior to submitting a solid waste permit applicationto ADEM.
