New Jersey Statutes 13:1E-20. Solid waste management plans
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as to prevent any board of chosen freeholders or the Hackensack Commission from readopting a solid waste management plan upon the expiration of same in a solid waste management district; provided, however, that any such readoption shall be pursuant to the provisions of section 14 of P.L. 1975, c. 326 (C. 13:1E-23).
(2) Any two or more districts may formulate and adopt a single solid waste management plan which shall meet all the requirements of this act for the combined area of the cooperating solid waste management districts.
b. (1) To assist each board of chosen freeholders in the development and formulation of the solid waste management plans required herein, an advisory solid waste council shall be constituted in every county and shall include municipal mayors or their designees, persons engaged in the collection or disposal of solid waste and environmentalists. The respective size, composition and membership of each such council shall be designated by the respective boards of chosen freeholders. In the Hackensack Meadowlands District, the Hackensack Meadowlands Municipal Committee, established pursuant to article 4 of P.L. 1968, c. 404 (C. 13:17-7 and 13:17-8), is hereby designated an advisory solid waste council for the purposes of this amendatory and supplementary act; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as in any way altering the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Hackensack Meadowlands Municipal Committee except as herein specifically provided. The respective boards of chosen freeholders and the Hackensack Commission shall consult with the relevant advisory solid waste council at such stages in the development and formulation of the solid waste management plan as each such board of chosen freeholders or the Hackensack Commission, as the case may be, shall determine; provided, however, that a solid waste management plan shall be adopted as hereinafter provided only after consultation with the relevant advisory solid waste council.
(2) In the development and formulation of a solid waste management plan for any solid waste management district, the board of chosen freeholders or the Hackensack Commission, as the case may be, shall:
(a) Consult with the county or municipal government agencies concerned with, or responsible for, water pollution control, water policy, water supply, or zoning or land use within the solid waste management district;
(b) Review such plans for solid waste collection and disposal proposed by, or in force in, any municipality or municipalities within the solid waste management district, to determine the suitability of any such plan, or any part thereof, for inclusion within the solid waste management plan of the solid waste management district; and
(c) Consult with persons engaged in solid waste collection and disposal in the solid waste management district.
