hazardous, municipal, and residual waste programs, environmental cleanup programs,
municipal waste planning and recycling programs, and the storage tank program.
The Bureau also provides technical and administrative support to the Department's
Solid Waste Advisory Committee, and manages the HSCA (Hazardous Site Cleanup
Act), Recycling, and Storage Tank Funds.
Dorothy Turner's papers include minutes, proceedings, copies of legislation,
a master plan, and a final report of the Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee.
