Notice of Availability of the Proposed Twin Falls County Solid Waste Facility (TFSWF) Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Land Use Plan Amendment

摘要

Twin Falls County, Idaho has made application to purchase 1083.77 acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), on which they propose to construct, operate and maintain a state of the art ``Subtitle D'' solid waste facility. The proposed project is located near Hub Butte, 10 miles south of the City of Twin Falls, Idaho. The purpose of the proposed facility would be to bring Twin Falls County into compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and its associated regulations, 40 CFR 257 and 258 ``Subtitle D''. These regulations set forth many new requirements for solid waste facilities that are in operation after April 9, 1993 that the existing facilities in Twin Falls County do not meet. The proposed facility would be constructed and administered by Twin Falls County and would be operated by a private contractor.
