OEPA grants itself another waste plan extension

Commissioner Richard Regula [] announced that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency notified the region’s solid waste district that it is extending its deadline to complete the joint 10-year waste disposal and recycling plan to April 30. That’s a month longer than what the district verbally agreed to earlier this month and fourth months later than the state’s original deadline.

Regula wondered why the agency couldn’t use the waste district’s already finished plan. The extension allows district members more time to adopt new landfill and waste facility regulations, he said.
