<br />quality strategy might call for a central wastewater treatment facility in an <br /> <br />~ unsewered area which might ultimately worsen air quality by promoting population <br />Ul <br />-~growth. Close interdivisional communication, planning, and strategizing will <br />-....i <br /> <br />el iminate these possible confl icts. <br /> <br />F. Sol id and Hazardous Waste Program Overlaps and Gaps <br /> <br />The review of 501 id waste disposal sites involves many agencies and offices <br /> <br />which suggests the possibil ity of overlapping a portion of sol id wastes program <br /> <br />management. In most cases, however, each office within the State Clearinghouse <br /> <br />reviews proposals from its own jurisdictional perspective. <br /> <br />An important interface between water qual ity and sol id waste exists in the <br /> <br />area of wastewater treatment plant sludge disposal. Increasingly stringent <br /> <br />wastewater qual ity requirements have resulted in more types and greater volumes <br /> <br />of sludges which are often disposed of in sanitary landfills. In many cases, <br /> <br />the landfills are poorly designed and equipped to handle these sludges, ulti- <br /> <br />mately resulting in a groundwater and surface water pollution. This threat to <br /> <br />groundwater is largely mitigated by the current cooperation between the solid <br /> <br />wastes program and the water quality program wherein the district engineers for <br /> <br />the Water Qual ity Control Division review sol id waste disposal site plans, and <br /> <br />inspect sites regularly. <br /> <br />Other program management elements appear to be well defined and fully <br /> <br />covered. The hazardous waste program is still in an evolutionary stage with <br /> <br />the necessary data base still in development. The basis for control of hazardous <br /> <br />waste is envisioned to be a manifest system which will keep track of such waste <br /> <br />from their origin to their ultimate disposal. <br /> <br />III - 15 <br /> <br />;.,^ <br />
