Solid Waste Implementation Plan    The Solid Waste Alliance Communities developed a new Solid Waste Implementation Plan (SWIP) to comply with the State of Vermont's new plan. The SWIP expresses SWAC's goals guiding all solid waste programming and planning for the foreseeable future. SWAC solicited public input to ensure that this document represents the SWAC member towns and residents. To help gather this information, we held public hearings on the draft Plan, and solicited public comments. In addition, we encouraged SWAC towns and residents to offer input on draft sections of the Plan as they were developed. The completed Plan was pre-approved by the Agency of Natural Resources. Hearings were scheduled for December 1 and December 6, 2005. At the close of the hearing on December 6, SWAC voted to adopt the SWIP.
