Background

    There are estimated to be over 26,000 small town governments (with 
populations less than 10,000) in this country that address and are 
challenged by complex environmental management issues such as aging 
wastewater treatment plants, drinking water systems, incinerators, 
storm water systems, and landfills. Small communities handle solid 
waste, medical waste, liquid waste and hazardous waste and are often 
burdened with the staggering costs of meeting compliance and addressing 
new regulations. This meeting will focus on these many complex and 
diverse environmental management issues faced by small communities. A 
field trip will provide an onsite investigation of the varied 
environmental issues that impact small communities. Additionally, the 
purpose of the meeting is to improve and enhance our understanding of 
these needs and build the partnerships at the federal, state, and local 
level to address the needs of small communities.
    Additional information may be obtained by emailing the Designated 
Federal Officer (DFO) for the Local Government Advisory Committee at

Advisory Subcommittee (SCAS), or in written correspondence to: 1200
