Description
This program reimburses eligible Pennsylvania municipalities for approved costs associated with employing certified Host Municipality Inspectors. These inspectors play a critical role in monitoring municipal waste landfills, resource recovery (waste-to-energy) facilities, and commercial hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. Inspectors ensure compliance with environmental regulations, provide oversight of facility operations, and serve as liaisons between municipalities, facility operators, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
