SummaryIssue Identification

• Increasing amount of waste• Use of new/different facilities• State regulatory staffing reductions• Mobility of waste/inter-state movement• Large in-state regional facilities• Landfill ownership transfer• Capacity (distribution & lack of acceptance)• New landfills proposed for primarily out-of state waste• Landfills proposed in areas not previously anticipated• Legacy of old landfills


1. Strengthen financial/environmental qualifications review 2. Strengthen financial assurance associated with landfill ownership 3. Clarify landfill owner definition and ownership transfer notification4. Strengthen state enforcement measures 5. Improve/strengthen landfill requirements for the next generation of landfills6. Improve/strengthen performance of current landfills7. Require environmental studies for large facilities8. Fund state regulatory staff expansion through permit fee9. Fund clean up of orphan landfills through fee on solid waste disposal

*Landfill requirements based on: experience in North Carolina, new technologies, need to provide improved protections to the public

Proposed legislationfor 2007


Solid Waste in North CarolinaThe Future:

More of the Same(Probably continue to have more and more waste)

Yet Very Different(Probably become one of the nation’s leading importers of waste)
