Any entity requesting a renewal or issuance of a solid waste handling permit from EPD must demonstrate that the facility or facility expansion is consistent with the local government\u2019s Solid Waste Management Plan. It is the responsibility of the applicant to consult with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Counties within the area(s) of potential effect, and the Northeast Georgia Regional Solid Waste Management Authority to verify procedures and siting requirements. Specifically, applicants should reference and adhere to the rules and regulations defined in the Georgia Rules for Solid Waste Management Criteria for Siting (\u00a7 391-3-4-.05).<\/p>\n
