摘要

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is proposing a rule that will allow a municipalrnsolid waste landfill to be exempt from having a site operating plan if the facility has an environmental managementrnsystem (EMS) approved by the executive director. The TCEQ is one of eleven U.S. EPA designated EMS LocalrnResource Centers which provides assistance and training on the development of a performance-based EMS to publicrnentities. In addition, the TCEQ is developing specific guidance to encourage the adoption of environmentalrnmanagement systems at municipal solid waste landfills across the State of Texas.
