NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
FOR THE NORTHEAST GEORGIA SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs requires that each local government prepare and
update their local comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan as part of the state comprehensive-
planning process.
In 2004, the Northeast Georgia Regional Solid Waste Management Authority competed a 10-County
multi-jurisdictional Solid Waste Management Plan for the counties of Athens-Clarke, Barrow, Elbert,
Greene, Jackson, Madison, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, and Walton. The state requires these plans to be
updated every five years.
The purpose of this Public Hearing is to inform the public about the purpose of the plan update, the
process, the requirements, and the timeframe for which this update is to be completed. The Public
Hearing, additionally, provides the opportunity to elicit community feedback on any issues and concerns
at the beginning of the process. A second Public Hearing will be scheduled toward the end of the planning
process to present the final draft plan and to allow the opportunity for additional public comment.
This Public Hearing will be held on April 20, 2010 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Lyndon House
Arts Center at 293 Hoyt Street, Athens, Georgia 30601.
