2020 Solid Waste and Moderate <br />Risk Waste Management Plan Update <br /> <br />AX0304191054PDX xi <br />ES.7 Summary of Recommendations <br />SWAC selected a set of options in keeping with the solid waste goals, policies, and objectives. These <br />recommendations form an integrated program of waste management for Kittitas County through the year <br />2025. The selected options are included in each chapter. Many of the selected options are similar to <br />those in the previous Plan. The SWAC reviewed each option, and those options that were previously <br />implemented and/or recommended, but deemed ineffective, were not included in this 2020 Plan. Others <br />were modified to better reflect current conditions. New options were evaluated and selected to replace <br />those options that were eliminated from the Plan.
