In furtherance of the policy objectives set forth in subdivision 27-0106(2) of the Environmental Conservation Law, this Part specifies the standards for the content, review and approval of a local solid waste management plan (LSWMP) by the department. As specified in section 360.19(c)(2) of this Title, solid waste management facilities are prohibited from accepting waste from a municipality that is not included in a department-approved LSWMP. As specified in section 360.16(c)(5) of this Title, an application for a solid waste management facility permit is required to demonstrate that the facility is consistent with the goals and objectives of a department approved LSWMP, if one exists. Certain applications for state assistance also require description of consistency with a department-approved LSWMP, as specified in sections 369-2.3(c) and 369-3.3(c) of this Title.
