LANSING MI 48909-7973 INTERNET: www deq state mi US RUSSELL J..HARDING, Director October 3,2000 Mr. Ronald Neuman, Chairperson Cheboygan County Board of Commissioners P.O. Box 70 Cheboygan, Michigan 49721 Dear Mr. Neuman: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received the locally approved update to the Cheboygan County Solid Waste Management Plan (Plan) on July 23, 2000. By this letter, this Plan is hereby approved and Cheboygan County (County) now assumes responsibility for the enforcement and implementation of this Plan. The i' DEQ would like to thank the County for their efforts in addressing the County's solid \- waste management issues. By approving the Plan, the DEQ has determined that it complies with the provisions of Part 115, Solid Waste Management, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended, and the Part 115 rules concerning the required content of solid waste management plans Specifically, the DEQ has determined that the Plan identifies the enforceable mechanisms that authorize the state, a county, a municipality, or a person to take legal action to guarantee compliance with the Plan, as required by Part 1 15 The Plan is enforceable, however, only to the extent the County properly implements these enforceable mechanisms under applicable enabling legislation. The Plan itself does not serve as such underlying enabling authority and the DEQ approval of the Plan neither restricts nor expands the County authority to implement these enforceable mechanisms. The Plan may also contain other provisions that are neither required nor expressly authorized for inclusion in a solid waste management plan.. The DEQ approval of the Plan does not extend to any such provisions. Under Part 115, the DEQ has no statutory authority to determine whether such provisions have any force or effect. Mr. Ronald Neuman 2 October 3,2000 If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Seth Phillips, Chief, Solid Waste Management Unit, at 517-373-4750. Sincerely, Russell J.
