The DRAFT Guidance Memo No. 07-2005 entitled “Guidance for Determining Voluntary Remediation Program Eligibility at Solid Waste Management Facilities that operated prior to December 21, 1988.” is currently undergoing significant revisions by DEQ and thus has been removed from our website. Upon completion of the internal revisions, DEQ will post the document for external review and comments.  Contact Chris Evans at (804) 698-4336.

2. Landfill - Waste Disposal Limits

 This guidance document was developed in response to inquiries on how to consistently establish daily maximum waste disposal limits.  Multiple questions have been raised to determine which information should be reviewed and requested from the applicant when evaluating whether a proposed disposal limit is appropriate.  This guidance proposes a list of criteria to be reviewed prior to approving a proposed daily maximum waste disposal limit.  The DEQ is currently accepting comments on this guidance. Please submit any comments to Jason E. Williams at jewilliams@deq.virginia.gov.
