• Ch. 5: District Solid Waste Management Plan

Text

(a) After a district submits a district plan to
the department under this chapter, a district may merge with one (1) or
more other districts after the adoption of identical resolutions by the
board of each district to be merged.
(b) Upon adoption of identical resolutions under subsection (a), a
board for the resulting merged district shall be established using the
procedures set forth in IC 13-21-3.
(c) A merged district shall:
(1) adopt a district plan under sections 1 through 7 of this chapter
not later than sixty (60) days after the merger is completed; and
(2) file the district plan with the commissioner.
The new district plan may be an amended version of the previous
approved plans submitted under the new district name. A merger under
subsection (a) does not take effect until the district plan is filed with the
commissioner.
(d) A district plan adopted under this section is considered approved
unless the commissioner notifies the district in writing not later than
thirty (30) days after the district plan is filed with the commissioner
that the district plan fails to comply with the state plan. The notice
provided by the commissioner must include comments concerning
changes to the district plan that would make the district plan
acceptable.
