Solid Waste Management Plan
Clallam County has completed an updated draft of its Solid Waste Management Plan as required by state law (70.95 RCW). The plan is a collaborative effort between Clallam County, Port Angeles and Sequim. The draft plan updates the previous plan developed in 2014 and considers new requirements from the Department of Ecology, the State of Washington, and other stakeholders. The document is a draft and is subject to fine-tuning and changes as all parties review the document and provide comment.
