Disposal Site Management
The Disposal Site Advisory Committee (DSAC) assists the Benton County Board of Commissioners in the planning and implementation of disposal site management, including the following:
- Review with the permittee the regional disposal site’s siting, operation, closure, and long-range monitoring of the site;
- Provide a forum for citizen comments, questions and concerns about the regional disposal site and promote a dialog between the community and the owner or operator of the site; and
- Prepare an annual written report summarizing the local citizens’ concerns and the manner in which the owner or operator is addressing those concerns.
