A new Public and Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), comprised of members of the public, local government representatives, and industry and technical experts, has been formed to advise on the development of the new SWMP.
PTAC will advise the Regional District Board on the design and implementation of the SWMP consultation process, guiding principles, topics and supporting studies, and development of plan targets and strategies.
PTAC is looking for individuals that live in the following areas to represent their community on the committee: Electoral Area A (Stewart, Nass Valley); Electoral Area D (Telegraph, Iskut); Electoral Area F (Dease Lake); District of Stewart; and Village of Hazelton. If you live in one of these communities and would like to participate in PTAC, or if you would like information regarding the SWMP planning process, please contact the RDKS Environmental Services Coordinator.
To date, PTAC meetings have covered the following topics:
January 15, 2019 meeting was a "Solid Waste Workshop,” which focused on the solid waste management planning process, the current solid waste management system in the RDKS and PTAC Committee business;
February 12, 2019 meeting discussed the overarching theme of efficiency for the SWMP, as well as the Consultation Strategy and summary of SWMP consultation to date; and
April 16, 2019 meeting covered the themes of reduction and reuse.
