Mr. Art Lee, Director of Public Works for the County of Hennepin, was present and reported on the County's solid waste disposal planning and a proposed County Ordinance regulating the operation of sanitary landfills. He noted that the County Board had recently established a policy whereby the County would limit it's involvement to planning and regulating and would, for the present at least , rely on private operators to supply solid waste disposal facilities. In the event the private sector was not able or willing to adequately provide such facilities, the County might at some future date sevelope such facilities themselves. The County plans to hire enough competent inspectors to assure that the landfills were operated in accordance with the County regula- tions. These regulations are being prepared with the cooperation of the State • Pollution Control Agency.
