APPENDIX I 



CCAMP ENHANCED GROUNDWATER PROTECTION IN LANDFILL PROGRAMS RECOMMENDATIONS 



December 1986 Page 1-7 



33. At the present time, the organizational structure and definition of 

 roles and responsibilities for the DEQE landfill program are not clear- 

 ly defined in one document. A clear description of the entire land- 

 fill program and the responsibilities associated with each operating 

 unit needs to be written. This should eliminate any duplication of 

 effort or inconsistencies that might arise as well as catalogue differ- 

 ent sources of information relating to landfills. DEQE's landfill 

 program should be consistent with the Governor's solid-waste program 

 once the legislation implementing this passes. 



34. As has been previously mentioned, DSHW and the BSWD should cooperate 

 closely. Timetables and deadlines should be coordinated and informa- 

 tion shared. The regional solid-waste plans being developed by the 

 BSWD should reflect the DSHW staff's current information and concerns 

 about the environmental sensitivity of certain areas. DSHW and BSWD 

 should each review the guidelines and regulations drafted by the other 

 section. 



35. The DSHW landfill program affects other DEQE programs including those 

 of DWS , DWPC and DWWR. New policies and regulations must be reviewed 

 and commented upon by all other appropriate divisions and regions. 



FEDERAL 



36. EPA Region I should assist DEQE by providing technical assistance and 

 research findings whenever possible. Data and information developed 

 through EPA headquarters should be made available on a regular basis. 



LOCAL 



37. Landfills on Cape Cod should attempt to establish consistent disposal 

 fee schedules for commercial haulers in order to remove a major incen- 

 tive for disposing of one town's trash in another town's landfill.
