Solid Waste Permit Program
Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
Doc Type: Permit Application
Purpose: This checklist has been developed as a guide for permit application preparers and reviewers in order to assist with the submittal of a substantially complete permit application. Thoroughly review all applicable rules, statutes and guidance documents for further details and requirements. Minnesota Rules can be found at: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/. All guidance documents can be found on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Solid Waste Publications webpage at: http://www.pca.state.mn.us/lupg880.
Many items listed below must be discussed in depth within the permit application submittal package. Be sure to include the most recently updated information, drawings and plans. Previously submitted documents cannot be referenced; all necessary documents must be included in this package. The permit application submittals should discuss all applicable MPCA Guidance Documents; include justification if the facility does not follow the guidance provided.
Instructions for permit application preparers: The following checklist must be completed and included with a permit application for all MSW Combustor Ash Landfill disposal facilities. In the table below, indicate in the far left column the name and page number(s) of the document where the specified rule requirement is addressed. If the rule requirement does not apply, please indicate with “n/a” for not applicable. The permit application will be determined to be incomplete if there are any blank spaces in this column.
