Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan Comment Period

Okanogan County is updating the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) in accordance with RCW 70.95. This is a 5-year update. The plan identifies solid waste and moderate risk waste management practices within Okanogan County and associated service areas. The plan will ultimately be approved by the Washington State Department of Ecology and then subsequently adopted by Okanogan County.

The preliminary draft of the SWMP is currently available for review. The plan may be viewed or downloaded on Public Works website at http://www.okanogancounty.org/PW/solid_waste_recycling.htm or by visiting the Public Works Administration Office at 1234-A Second Ave. South, Okanogan, WA 98840.

Comments will be accepted until the comment period is closed by the Board of Okanogan County Commissioners during a public hearing. The public hearing has not yet been scheduled but is expected to occur mid-April, 2018. An additional notification shall be published confirming the hearing date. Comments on the SWMP must be submitted in writing. Direct questions and comments to: Ben Rough, Administrative Officer, Okanogan County Department of Public Works, 1234-A Second Ave. South, Okanogan, WA 98840, (509) 422-7335, or by email at brough@co.okanogan.wa.us.
