The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources currently has twenty one procedures in effect which address various aspects of solid waste management. In many instances these procedures were developed to address those areas of the Vermont solid waste managment program considered to be less stringent, or more inexplicit, than the RCRA Subtitle D municipal solid waste landfill - Part 258 Regulations. In other instances procedures were developed to attempt to clarify sections of the existing Solid Waste Management Rules, address requirements for specific types of solid waste, or to present a consistant and acceptable approach for a particular element of solid waste landfill siting, design, operation, financial responsibility, closure, or post-closure care.

All procedures are based on promulgated statute and rule. The majority of the procedures are utilized to establish substantive requirements for the certification of a solid waste management facility. Accordingly, the requirements of a procedure are enforceable through the enforcement of the facility certification. Applicants and certification holders should be aware that the versions of the Procedures that were in effect at the time of a specific application or referenced in a specific ceritfication remain applicable. The revised Procedures will be applicable ath the time of application for re-certification or will be referenced in the new certfication.

The Procedures are summarized in the following table:
