EPA and Northeast Waste Management Officials Association

January 21, 2004

On January 21, 2004, EPA had a conference call with representatives of
NEWMOA to discuss the proposed definition of solid waste rulemaking. In
attendance:

Ingrid Rosencrantz		EPA/HWID

Ross Bunnell			Connecticut

Bill Cass			NEWMOA

Walt Argus			New Jersey

Karen Hale			Ohio

Chris Evans			Maine

Jim Miller			Massachusetts

Bill Sirault			Massachusetts

Holly Green			New Hampshire

Mark Moroukian		New York

John Miller			Vermont

NEWMOA met with EPA and expressed some of its comments on the proposed
rulemaking. In particular, they stated that they found the NAICS system
confusing but supported the on-site option mentioned in the preamble. In
addition, they were in favor of notification and generally supportive of
the proposal to codify the legitimacy criteria. They were somewhat
concerned about the enforcement implications of the proposal and of the
existence of some vague language.
