What are the steps in siting a landfill?
A landfill siting project starts when a person, company or municipality determines that a landfill is needed within a certain area in order to serve the waste disposal needs of that area. At that point, ch. 289, Wis. Stats., divides the siting process into two separate but parallel tracks: local negotiation/arbitration, and the review of the permit application by the DNR.
