Background/Discussion
Iowa Code section 455B.302 requires every Iowa city and county to provide for the establishment and operation of a comprehensive solid waste reduction program consistent with the waste management hierarchy under section 455B.301A, and a sanitary disposal project for final disposal of solid waste by its residents.
Iowa Code section 455B.306(1) requires that all Iowa cities and counties file a comprehensive plan with the director of the Iowa DNR detailing the method by which the city or county will comply with the requirements of section 455B.302 to establish and implement a comprehensive solid waste reduction program for its residents.
The previous comprehensive plan update for the Iowa Waste Services, LLC Planning Area was approved by the Iowa DNR in 2015. The 2022 Comprehensive Plan Update has been prepared by SCS Engineers located in Clive, Iowa, at the direction of the City.
The adoption, implementation, and participation of the proposed comprehensive plan will satisfy the City’s duties as set forth under Iowa Code.
In accordance with Iowa Code section 455B.306(1), the comprehensive plan will be submitted to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
