Abstract | Flow controls are legal authorities used by state and local governments to designate where municipal solid waste (MSW) must be taken for processing, treatment, or disposal. Congress asked EPA to present a comparative review of states with and without flow control authority; identify the impact of flow control ordinances on protection of human health and the environment; and identify the impact of flow control on the development of state and local waste management capacity and on the achievement of state and local goals for source reduction, reuse, and recyling. Appendices include flow controls and MSW: Summary of public comments; legal decisions concerning MSW flow controls; summary matrix of state flow control authorities; flow control case studies; technical analyses of waste generation, compost segment, recycling segment, waste-to-energy (WTE) segment, and landfill segment. |
