At the June 29 meeting of DEP’s DEP Solid Waste Advisory and Recycling Fund Advisory Committees, DEP plans to discuss the formation of an Act 101 Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act stakeholder group to take about potential changes to the Act.
The discussion will be lead by Michele Nestor, Chair of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee and Chair of the PA Recycling Markets Center Board, along with Larry Holly, Chief of DEP’s Division of Waste Minimization and Planning and Laura Henry, Chief of Program Development and Support.
DEP hopes to get feedback from the Committees on members in the workgroup, how it should operate and what kinds of issues it should tackle.
DEP is generally looking at an 18-month long process for developing recommendations.
The meeting will be held in Room 105 of the Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg starting at 10:00.
