| Abstract |
Of the identified current and proposed construction projects in which municipal solid waste combustion residues replace traditionally used materials, approximately half are located on landfills or other property controlled by project sponsors, one third are in publicly accessible areas, one is a commercial use that is categorized separately, and the remainder are to be located at undetermined sites. The study is being conducted to assess what factors are most critical in determining the out come of public acceptability issues in establishing projects in which MWC residues are used. Literature in the fields of risk management and facility siting are drawn upon to analyze the efforts to establish MWC residue projects that must gain public acceptance. Systematic analysis of data collected to date reveals patterns which suggest that in projects where public acceptability is a critical factor, earlier inclusion of major interest groups; and open, two-day communication styles, produce a more effective, efficient overall effort. |
