[greenyes] Independent Community Monitors for landfills?

Apologies for Cross-Postings

Do you know of any other examples of independent Community Monitors to 
oversee the development or expansion of landfills in your area or elsewhere?

Pursuant to a legal settlement governing the expansion of the Altamont 
Landfill and Resource Recovery Facility (ALRRF) in Alameda County, 
California, the City of Livermore, the City of Pleasanton, the Sierra Club,
the Northern California Recycling Association (NCRA), and Altamont 
Landowners Against Rural Mismanagement (ALARM) won the right to have such 
an independent Community Monitor, funded by the project owner, Waste 
Management of Alameda County, Inc.

A Community Monitor Committee has been setup that is hiring a 
consultant  to represent the interests of the community in seeing that 
regulations are properly applied so as to minimize the impacts of the ALRRF 
on the surrounding community.  For more details, go to:
