(Senate Joint Resolution No. 11)

A Senate Joint Resolution concerning

Solid Waste Management Commission

FOR the purpose of requesting the Governor to appoint a
Solid Waste Management Commission to report to the
General Assembly on the current status of and the
potential for future development of solid waste
management and resource recovery in Maryland; and to
recommend steps which the State and its political
subdivisions may take to secure the greatest benefits
from solid waste management and resource recovery
activities; requiring the Commission to report to the
General Assembly prior to a certain date; and providing
for the expiration of the Commission.

Present solid waste sites may prove incapable of
meeting future demands.

Optimal location of solid waste sites and resource
recovery facilities may require regional cooperation.

Costs for disposal of solid waste are rapidly
escalating and energy costs are increasing.

There have been major advances in resource recovery
technology and market development during the past decade.
