Solid Waste Permits Section
Dennis Degner, Ph.D., P.E., Section Chief
The Bureau of Waste Management (BWM) routinely administers permits to ensure all solid and hazardous waste facilities are operated in a manner that protects human health and the environment. BWM conducts inspections, reporting and enforcements designed to identify and remedy compliance problems. Types of facilities where compliance is evaluated include landfills, hazardous or solid waste combustors, community composting, hazardous waste storage facilities, transfer stations, household hazardous waste facilities, and waste tire processors.
