Texoma Regional Solid Waste Management Plan
 

    

Welcome to the home page of the Texoma Regional Solid Waste Management Plan.  From here you can link to Plan study sessions, information on grants made under the Plan, and a compilation of the recommendations made in the Plan.

The revised Texoma Regional Solid Waste Management Plan was adopted by the 80th Texas Legislature in May 2007 and is now part of State regulation (30 TAC 330) by inclusion.  Both State law and TCEQ-issued regulations call for all solid waste activities in the region to be in conformity with the Texoma Plan:

  Health and Safety Code Section 363.066. 
Conformity With Regional or Local Solid Waste Management Plan. 
(a) On the adoption of a regional or local solid waste management plan by commission rule, public and private solid waste management activities and state regulatory activities must conform to that plan.
  TCEQ Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Rule 30 TAC 330.568(c)(3)
It shall be the responsibility of the affected local governments to implement the policies and recommendations of an adopted regional plan and to maintain policies and activities that do not conflict with provisions in State and regional plans.

Copies of the Texoma Plan have been deposited at the following sites: the City Managers of the Cities of Bonham, Denison, Gainesville and Sherman; the Reference Sections in the four public libraries in these communities; and, the Regional Environmental Resources Library of the Texoma Council of Governments.
