The Carroll County Solid Waste Authority (“Authority”) previously submitted a Petition to the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission (“Commission”) to be designated the Carroll County Solid Waste District (see previous post here).
The Receiver (Geoffrey B. Treece) for the Ozark Mountain Solid Waste District (“District”) petitioned to intervene in the proceedings before the Commission and opposed the Petition (see previous post here).
The Petition was submitted pursuant to Ark. Code. Ann. 8-6-707 which provides the Commission the Authority to designate a county or counties within each district or counties within two or more districts as a new regional solid waste management district. Carroll County is currently a part of the Ozark Mountain Solid Waste District.
Commission Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) Charles Moulton previously issued a Recommended Decision granting the Petition (see previous post here).
The Commission at its October 25th meeting upheld the ALJ’s Decision granting the Petition.
