Minn. R. agency 167, ch. 9215, SUBMITTAL AND APPROVAL OF PLANS AND PLAN AMENDMENTS, pt. 9215.0870
The commissioner shall consider all information submitted by the county, district, or multicounty area in seeking approval of its plan or plan amendment, all information received from the public during the public comment period, and all information submitted during the public informational meeting if one was held in making a final decision on the plan or plan amendment.
The commissioner shall notify the county, district, or multicounty area and all persons who submitted public comments or participated in a public informational meeting of the final decision on the plan or plan amendment.
The commissioner shall approve those plans and plan amendments that meet the requirements of parts 9215.0540 to 9215.0790. The commissioner's approval shall remain in effect for ten years unless the commissioner determines that a shorter period of time is required to ensure that the county, district, or multicounty area implements the plan.
The approval of a plan amendment shall not change the due date of the county's, district's, or multicounty area's next plan unless the commissioner determines in the decision approving the amendment that the amendment eliminates the need to submit the next plan. If so, the commissioner shall determine when the next plan will be required.
Before final approval of the plan or plan amendment, the commissioner shall request the county, district, or multicounty area to submit a certified copy of a resolution, passed by the county, district, or multicounty area, that approves the plan or plan amendment as the county's, district's, or multicounty area's solid waste management plan. No approval by the commissioner of a plan or plan amendment shall be final until a resolution is received by the agency.
On final approval of a plan or plan amendment, the county, district, or multicounty area shall submit two copies of the final plan to the commissioner. The plan must be single-spaced and must be printed on both sides of the page. An electronic copy of the plan or plan amendment in a format approved by the commissioner may also be submitted with the paper copy.
